Dear GLCF Supporters,
We urgently need your support if we are to have a chance of continuing the
services we provide. If you have accessed the GLCF land cover products and
related remote sensing data in the form of Landsat, MODIS, ASTER or other
products, then we ask that you send a message to NASA.Our funding has just been drastically reduced and it will not be
sufficient to
maintain our current level of service. So severe is the proposed reduction
that we will probably have to close completely. We provide NASA imagery
and
products to many thousands of users from throughout the world. This is a
science service that we think is needed (last month we had over 2
terabytes
of downloads!) and should be supported by NASA.
Please help with an email to Dr. Ghassem Asrar (gasrar@hq.nasa.gov) the
NASA
Associate Administrator responsible for Earth Sciences and the person
directly
responsible for this decision Dr. Mary Cleave (mary.cleave@nasa.gov). We
would
regard it as a courtesy if you would copy any e-mails to us at
(glcf@umiacs.umd.edu).We hope to serve you again, soon.
