High school students from around the country are discovering the science and careers related to weather and climate at this year's Weather Camp running June 9-14 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Students find out how scientists observe and forecast the weather and monitor the changing climate through various activities: conducting experiments with instruments while learning about weather science, visiting with scientists and forecasters, and learning about the tools and careers of the trade.
More information about the program is available on the Lincoln Weather website. Nebraska's program is part of a national weather camp network—evaluated by the American Meteorological Society.
Maddy Diedrichsen, meteorology-climatology and mathematics major, previously attended Weather Camp and was a lead instructor last year—read about her experience.
