A cohort of 24 students, led by Dr. Erik R. Nielsen & Assistant Lecturer Ms. Judy Dickey, participated in CIMH-led lectures and hands-on field experiments on tropical meteorology and atmospheric dynamics.
Activities focused on wake cloud formation & C'bean atmospheric processes.

Students conducted sounding balloon launches outside the CIMH Library, with coordinated observations at Folkstone Marine Park in Holetown.
These measurements combined upper-air & surface data to examine tropical cloud development. Findings were presented at the Closing Ceremony.

CIMH recently partnered with @JAXA_en, @cdemacu & @jica_direct_en on training in satellite data utilization for disaster risk management.
The hands-on sessions strengthened regional capacity for early warning, preparedness & disaster response across the Caribbean. đź‘Ź

Using outdated rainfall data in infrastructure design raises flood risk.
Updated IDF curves reflect today’s rainfall trends & projected climate conditions, & can strengthen engineering standards when integrated into national design frameworks. youtube.com/watch?v=6QbG8BCZ…

IDF curves turn rainfall patterns into actionable design guidance.
This data underpins drainage design, road sizing, & flood‑risk calculations, ensuring infrastructure is built for today’s rainfall & tomorrow’s climate realities.
