Associate Professor Travis Kraus is part of an interdisciplinary team who has been awarded a $6 million dollar National Science Foundation grant to conduct "data advanced research and education to improve weather intelligence and localized climate change assessment and resilience in agricultural-based communities".

Earlier this year, the University of Iowa's National Science Foundation received a $6 million grant for a project to help midwestern agricultural communities deal with the changing climate.

The University of Iowa has received a $6 million grant from the National Science Foundation to complete a four-year study — which includes placing about 500 sensors across four states — looking at extreme weather in agriculture communities.

Thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, the University of Iowa will be using tech of its own design to improve climate and weather predictions in rural areas.
