NASA is canceling the lease of its New York City climate science unit that has occupied the same Columbia University-owned building since the 1960s. The move is a part of President Donald Trump’s review of federal leases, a NASA spokesperson said by email. The Goddard Institute for Space Studies is recognized as a globally important hub for climate science, maintaining one of the five independent global temperature records. The agency must move out of the building by May 31.
