Overview
- Marvel announced Tuesday on Bluesky that she left NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, citing uncertainty about funding for climate research.
- She described being forced out of GISS offices after a lease cancellation that left more than 100 researchers working from home since May 2025.
- She said NASA recently rejected her proposals to study how global warming could affect the nation’s solar energy supply.
- She is now a visiting scholar at New York University as she looks for new institutional support to continue her climate work.
- Her departure lands as NASA administrator Jared Isaacman signals a focus on space exploration over climate science and as outlets report large losses across federal science jobs that could weaken long‑term tracking of drought, wildfire, and ocean changes.
