Iowa researchers are working to solve some of our state’s most significant environmental challenges. That includes experts from the UI College of Engineering who are using a living laboratory to conduct innovative sustainability research and scientists who have deployed a vast network of climate sensors to prepare for the growing impact of extreme weather events.

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.

The University of Iowa has secured a $6 million, four-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to spearhead a multistate initiative aimed at aiding Midwest agricultural communities facing the increasing challenges of severe weather, including floods, droughts, and heat waves.
