Integrated Remote and In Situ Sensing at CU - Boulder

Integrated Remote and In Situ Sensing at CU - Boulder IRISS is a pillar of the CU Boulder Grand Challenge that provides 4D measurement capabilities to study phenomena at a distance and from within.

Seeking to combine its strengths in earth, social, and space sciences, the University of Colorado Boulder created the Grand Challenge to cultivate partnerships with government and industry to pursue solutions for pressing circumstances facing our world today. The Integrated Remote and In Situ Sensing (IRISS) initiative is a pillar of the CU Boulder Grand Challenge that provides 4D measurement capa

bilities to study phenomena at a distance and from within. IRISS gathers data from the natural world using ground sensors, unmanned aircraft, spacecraft, and other sensor systems. This information can be used to reveal valuable insight about myriad events like climate fluctuations, drought conditions, and forest dieback.

Amazing experience in the midwest this year, thanks to our project Icechip2025. Thanks to our University of Colorado Boulder partners who rode along and put together this great story.

For six weeks this summer, scientists from across the country, including researchers at CU Boulder, are criss-crossing the Great Plains to investigate how
