A critical component of American ascendancy in space is the ability to monitor and predict space weather. The problem is that we are failing to advance our space-weather capabilities at the pace of the rest of the American space sector.

Retired Rear Admiral Timothy Gallaudet, former Acting Administrator of NOAA discusses climate risk and a new report that shows the sea level along the U.S. Coast will rise by a full foot by 2050. He spoke with Bloomberg's David Westin.

Policy regarding marine conservation has tended to focus on the need to balance the protection of marine natural resources with the economic returns from ocean activities such as large scale commercial fishing, offshore energy and shipping…

Xona Space Systems, the aerospace startup developing a LEO satellite navigation constellation, is excited to announce the addition of Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, PhD, US Navy (ret) to its advisory board.

As we approach the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, I am reminded of the frequent warnings issued in a series of op-eds and interviews by one of the most principled and respected leaders of our time…

While the U.S. has been a leader in space exploration, including investing billions of dollars to achieve a set of national priorities, there are many great unknowns on Earth where we can step up similar efforts.

It has happened again. Yet another devastating weather event — this time the deadliest December tornado outbreak on record, and probably one of the top 10 deadliest for any month — has reminded us that we’ve entered a new era of environmental extremes.

The USNS Maury is an asset of the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (NMOC), which I led from 2014-2017…I agree with others who have called it disgraceful for any military unit to be named after someone who fought against our government to maintain a system that enslaved other human beings.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has expressed his commitment to include climate considerations as an essential element of our national security. This is not new to the DoD, and the recently released DoD Climate Adaptation Plan details the intended efforts by the Department to make the military more climate-ready.

A major announcement from the 2021 UN Climate Conference was the first U.S. Adaptation Communication under the Paris Agreement. Climate adaptation is important because it will help us prepare for and mitigate the impacts of heat waves, extreme precipitation, wildfires, and water scarcity.

Our leadership in environmental quality, conservation, and science provides a powerful counterweight to China’s increasingly malign influence and has made the U.S. a preferred partner over the People’s Republic of China in view of its extensive environmental abuses.

This was the first time in our alliance with France, dating back to 1778, that an ambassador was recalled to Paris. The question is not, “Was the deal worth alienating our oldest ally?” Rather, “Why did the U.S. not seek to avert such a huge strategic misstep?”

The impacts from flooding, wildfire, and extreme heat events have been increasing, and the key to saving lives during them is accurate, high precision weather information. When combined with decision support insights and recommendations, the resulting weather intelligence can help businesses, our military, and the public survive and thrive as the climate changes.

It is crucial that Washington seize every opportunity to trumpet U.S. leadership on the global stage and remind the world of China’s failure to behave as a “responsible stakeholder.”

(iXblue Press Release) iXblue, Inc. and iXblue Defense Systems announced on August 3rd, that they have formed a strategic partnership with Rear Admiral (RDML) Timothy Gallaudet through his marine technology consulting agency, Ocean STL Consulting.

With 95,471 miles of U.S. shoreline, and an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) that is among the largest in the world, the strength of the U.S. economy is reliant on the understanding, health, and sustainable use of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources. U.S. coastal and Great Lakes economies provide valuable goods and services to the nation and contribute to the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) through diverse and dynamic activities such as tourism and recreation, national defense, offshore mineral extraction, shipping and transportation, commercial fishing and aquaculture, ship-building, offshore energy research and education.
