The CLIMBS Extreme Precipitation Instrumentation and Field Project
Join us for the Fall 2025 Geographic and Environmental Sciences Seminar Series!
Our speaker on October 23rd will be UofL professor Scott Gunter. The CLIMBS (Climate Resilience through Multidisciplinary Big Data Learning, Prediction and Building Response Systems) Kentucky Climate Resilience program is an eight-institution collaboration including the University of Louisville, University of Kentucky, Western Kentucky University, Northern Kentucky University, Morehead State University, Eastern Kentucky University, Murray State University and Thomas More University, that addresses fundamental knowledge gaps in climate-related understanding.
Scott Gunter is a collaborator on CLIMBS Project 1 to enhance our weather understanding by expanding infrastructure and detecting high-impact events while also facilitating novel research advancing our understanding of their variability, trends and the larger-scale atmospheric and climatic conditions that influence them. The project also systematizes the state’s climatic records, predict climate sensitivity and future trends, contribute to 21st-century warning networks for at-risk communities, and educate the next generation of atmospheric science students.
