| Cary Mock, an assistant geography professor, has been awarded a grant for $99,998 from the National Science Foundation to reconstruct the climate extremes of the 19th century in the United States.
Mock will reconstruct the weather history by integrating weather data from early weather instruments with diaries written by settlers and travelers and ship logbooks. The project builds on previous climate history projects conducted by Mock on South Carolina and other areas of the southeastern United States, the American West, and Alaska.
Mock is an authority on research methods used to reconstruct weather and climate history.
