About
The Kentucky Climate Consortium (KYCC) is a multidisciplinary network of climate researchers and teachers in higher education across Kentucky. We aim to support the development of rich and collaborative research, teaching, and outreach opportunities across the sciences, engineering, social sciences, humanities, and the arts.
Consortium members have extensive experience researching and teaching climate-related issues, both in and beyond Kentucky. Members are also engaged in community-oriented climate work, through nonformal educational opportunities, public lectures, and more.
The KYCC currently has over 75 members across 14 institutions. It was co-founded in 2019 by Dr. Lauren Cagle (University of Kentucky, Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies) and Dr. Carmen Agouridis (University of Kentucky, Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering); Dr. Cagle has served as Director since 2020.
