Biography
Nolan Doesken is the State Climatologist for Colorado at the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University. After obtaining degrees from the Univ. of Michigan and Univ. of Illinois in the 1970s, Nolan began his work as a climatologist at CSU in 1977 and was appointed State Climatologist in 2006. He is fascinated with all aspects of weather and climate, but pays particularly close attention to precipitation. After the Fort Collins flash flood of 1997, Nolan established a volunteer rain gauge network to track and map the local variations in northern Colorado precipitation. This project -- the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow network (CoCoRaHS) -- has now spread nationwide.
