The National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.083 Integrative Activities) awarded a $4,703,544 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Kentucky Research Foundation to develop a holistic understanding of climate change impacts and improve resilience in Kentucky. The project, called CLIMBS (Climate Resilience through Multidisciplinary Big Data Learning, Prediction & Building Response Systems), involves a collaboration between the University of Kentucky and seven other Kentucky universities.

Key products and services to be delivered through the CLIMBS project include:

  • Acquiring atmospheric and environmental data to assess regional climate dynamics and predict climate change impacts on Kentucky's critical zone and water resources
  • Developing an instrumented watershed and hillslope monitoring network, especially in vulnerable Eastern Kentucky communities, to quantify processes triggering floods and landslides
  • Analyzing Kentucky's built environment and socio-behavioral systems to improve real-time disaster detection, warning systems, and emergency response capabilities
  • Providing education, workforce development, and diversity programs spanning academic, government, and private sectors

The project will also fund ten new faculty hires in the first three years to support the research and outreach activities under CLIMBS. Relevant sub-awards are planned to Western Kentucky University, University of Louisville, Morehead State University, and Murray State University to contribute specialized expertise and services for specific project components.
