[GRASSLIST:649] GLCF Needs Your Support

[Guillermo Felipe]

> 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 at hq.nasa.gov) the
NASA
> Associate Administrator responsible for Earth Sciences and the person
directly
> responsible for this decision Dr. Mary Cleave (mary.cleave at nasa.gov). We
would
> regard it as a courtesy if you would copy any e-mails to us at
> (glcf at umiacs.umd.edu).
>
> We hope to serve you again, soon.
