Released in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals, the Custom Climatology Tool developed at the High Plains Regional Climate Center allows users to examine average monthly and annual temperature measurements over customizable periods of time. The data is collected from thousands of U.S. weather stations.

A still from a GoPro camera mounted in a helicopter shows a band of pronghorn running across western Nebraska rangeland. Earlier this year, researchers captured 80 pronghorn and placed GPS radio collars on them. The released pronghorn will be tracked over two years to provide fine-scale information about their survival and movement across the Nebraska Panhandle and anywhere else they roam.

Groundwater levels rose significantly across most of Nebraska from January 2019 to January 2020, according to the recently released 2020 Nebraska Groundwater-Level Report. The rain, snow and ice surpluses from 2019 were reflected in thousands of well measurements taken across much of the state in early 2020.

School of Natural Resources grad student Dakota Altman (foreground) and junior Kole Karcher helped identify waterfowl by age and sex, a data collection activity that would normally take place in Kansas in late February during the Central Flyway Wingbee. Due to the coronavirus, wings collected through a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey were sent out to longtime Wingbee participants, who brought in help to get the work done.
