Despite Tumult, NOAA’s Lubchenco Would Like 4 More Years

oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, struggled to keep expensive satellite programs on track, and butted heads with Congress, which sank her efforts to reorganize NOAA’s climate science programs and appoint the agency’s first chief scientist in nearly 2 decades. Still, Lubchenco says she’d like to keep her job if President Barack Obama is reelected in November.
