The Great Plains Storm Chase is a summer course that involves 7,000 miles of travel across the country to find and monitor severe storms. The course is an unusual experience and a valuable opportunity for students interested in a career in meteorology. Led by Dave Carroll, a geography instructor in the College of Natural Resources and Environment, the course gives students hands-on experience operating weather equipment and exposes them to the thrills and frustrations of storm chasing.
