The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded 6 universities to serve as Regional Climate Centers.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) was selected to again serve for 5 years as the High Plains Regional Climate Center, which coordinates the collection and production of environmental data across North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming.  

“As we strive to feed a growing world, understanding our dynamic climate will become ever more important,” said Mike Boehm, NU vice president and UNL Harlan vice chancellor for the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

“The High Plains Regional Climate Center has been instrumental in helping producers and others access weather data and use it to drive smart decision-making.”

UNL will receive more than 3 million dollars as part of this contract. 

Regional Climate Centers are contractor organizations to NOAA that produce and deliver environmental data, products, information, and services of 6 distinct regions of the United States.
