Earth Sciences – Climate and Weather
Earth Sciences
We conduct research on Wisconsin’s climate, geology, mineral resources, and water resources, and share these findings through publications, technical talks, and outreach. This work provides information for all Wisconsinites to use for decision-making, problem-solving, planning, management, development, and education.

Climate and Weather Research and Monitoring
We collect, analyze, and share climate information with Wisconsin communities in ways they can use while leading the way in climate science education and research.
Rural Weather Extremes Project
The Wisconsin Rural Weather Extremes project is working to build greater capacity in Wisconsin’s rural communities to prepare for extreme weather events. The project works with local stakeholders to meet their needs with data, tools, and resources that will improve their ability to make informed decisions in advance of extreme weather events.
State Climatology Office
The Wisconsin State Climatology Office advances regional climate science in support of a wide range of communities, businesses, and agencies within Wisconsin and the Midwest. This collaborative office helps provide climate services that help Wisconsinites use weather and climate information most effectively.
