Welcome to the Portland State University Climate Science Lab. Housed in the Department of Geography, the PSU Climate Science Lab comprises a dynamic team of undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and faculty dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of atmospheric science, weather, and climate in Portland and beyond.
Our research leverages a wide range of observational and model-based datasets to advance our understanding of the key atmospheric drivers of weather and climate extremes. We participate in applied and basic research across a wide range of geographies, including local and regional-scale research in the Pacific Northwest.Â
We invite you to visit our projects page and our publications page to see what we've been up.
