The Fort Hays State University Department of Geosciences will offer the first FHSU course on storm-chasing during the summer 2015 term.
The class will be led by Dr. P. Grady Dixon, department chair, who has been traveling across the Great Plains to observe severe storms since 1998. The course will include a week of virtual-college instruction prior to the 10-day chasing component.
Students will depart Hays on June 6 and return by the evening of June 15. In the days between, they are likely to travel anywhere between Mexico and Canada or the Rocky Mountains and Mississippi River.
The goal for each day is to view the most dramatic storms so that students can learn about the dynamics of thunderstorms, the impacts of severe weather and the geography of the central United States.
