The CLIMBS Learning Hub is where science gets its boots muddy. Write a catchy title for this one for the website:
Led by Dr. Jen O’Keefe of Morehead State University, along with Amy S. Collick and UK’s Jimmy Fox,
CLIMBS faculty and students from across Kentucky gathered in Rowan County last summer for an interdisciplinary field day at the Sphagnum Swamp, extracting core samples and learning how to use them to reconstruct the climate record of this unique wetland habitat. From sub-sampling and soil science, to palynology processing, microscopy, and climate reconstruction, participants experienced the full arc of paleoclimate research hands-on, in the field, and in collaboration with peers from institutions across the Commonwealth. The CLIMBS Learning Hub connects students and faculty across disciplines and institutions to build research skills, and a shared network as we build storm resilience in Kentucky.
