Heising-Simons Foundation Funding
Learn about the impactful support from the Heising-Simons Foundation that fuels our fog research initiatives, helping us understand and address the challenges of climate change.
More details on this funding
The Heising-Simons Foundation has provided 5-years of funding to measure and model fog, focusing on both the spatial variability of fog in California and a deeper examination of how coastal, orographic fog is changing within the state of California.
Alignment with Heising-Simons Foundation Mission
The Heising-Simons Foundation is dedicated to advancing science and addressing climate change. Our research on the impacts of climate change on coastal fog patterns aligns directly with their mission, making our collaboration highly synergistic and impactful.
Key Outcomes and Results
The project aims are broad and encompass a comprehensive study of fog patterns. However, our university's role is primarily related to the deployment, maintenance, and collection of data from the many sites deployed across the state, contributing vital information to the overall research goals.
