UW Project Garners NSF Funding Via CO-WY Engine to Study Weather Extremes and Water Security

A groundbreaking research project proposed by a University of Wyoming professor secured National Science Foundation (NSF) funding this week through the Colorado-Wyoming Climate Resilience Engine (CO-WY Engine).

UW Professor Bart Geerts, in the Department of Atmospheric Science, is the principal investigator (PI) of the one-year, $300,000 project. UW Assistant Professor Stefan Rahimi and Colorado State University Associate Professor Kristen Rasmussen are co-PIs. The award was

jointly announced this month as part of a total of $3 million for the CO-WY Engine by Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis.
