Portland State University Climate Science Lab

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 weather, climate variability, and climate change in Portland and beyond.

Our research leverages a wide range of observational and model-based datasets to advance our understanding of the key drivers of weather and climate extremes, how these drivers are represented in climate models, and how they are projected to change in the future. We participate in applied and basic research across a wide range of geographies, including local and regional-scale research in the Pacific Northwest. 

We invite you to visit our projects page and our publications page to see what we've been up.
