Boulder, Colorado

Boulder home to scientific innovation

Boulder is now home to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in addition to NCAR and NIST, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory is in nearby Golden. Since Roberts first requested that NCAR headquarters reside in Boulder, dozens of science and technology companies and research firms have set up shop in the region.
