25th Anniversary of the Salt Lake City tornado (August 11, 1999). Thanks to Michael Splitt for being willing to go up to the penthouse with me to change the viewing angle of the time-lapse camera.

About us
The University of Utah Department of Atmospheric Sciences is the leading program of weather and climate related research and education in the Intermountain West and is recognized internationally for its expertise in cloud-climate interactions, mountain meteorology, climate physics and dynamics, weather and climate modeling, and tropical meteorology. Our research and teaching endeavors provide the knowledge and tools needed by society to address the challenges posed by hazardous weather and climate change in the 21st century. We are a student-centered department with faculty who are dedicated graduate student mentors and classroom instructors. Several of our professors have won college or university-wide teaching awards. We offer a minor, B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences. The minor introduces students to the impacts of the atmosphere upon society and enables students to apply scientific principles in an interdisciplinary way. Our undergraduate major uniquely emphasizes mountain weather and climate, which is a natural extension of the geographic setting of the University of Utah. At the graduate level we offer a comprehensive education in the atmospheric and related sciences and enable students to develop the intellectual and critical analysis skills needed to conduct independent research in a specialized area of study. Our alumni include broadcast meteorologists, National Weather Service and military meteorologists, scientists and engineers at environmental consulting firms, university professors, and even the Director of Weather for the U.S. Air Force.

Groundbreaking research from University of Utah Physics & Astronomy Distinguished Professor Valy Vardeny is pushing the boundaries of electronics. Published in Nature Magazine, his team's work on transforming ordinary LEDs into spin-controlling devices without magnets could revolutionize data processing and storage. This breakthrough in spintronics overcomes long-standing barriers in the field, and could pave the way for more efficient and powerful electronic devices. Proud to see the University of Utah College of Science at the forefront of such innovative research. https://lnkd.in/gKW324AJ

Led by my colleague in Sociology, our recently-published paper (https://lnkd.in/gyCpcZ6j) highlighted the importance of preserving Utah's #GreatSaltLake from an #AirQuality standpoint and the risk of exacerbating social disparities and exposure to dust from the dry lakebed. #EnvironmentalJustice #environment #sustainability #ClimateChange

Our Utah Flux Network station data are now on Mesowest! Our 9 stations now contribute to a vast meteorological network. For example, our Matheson station is right near the Colorado River, just north of Moab, with a wonderful view of the "Portal" of the river. You can view data from our Matheson station at: https://lnkd.in/gAqPvZTB Utah Geological Survey University of Utah Science Moab Synoptic Data, a Public Benefit Corporation Campbell Scientific

Escalante now has an Eddy Covariance station! This station will provide important estimates of evapotranspiration in the Upper Colorado River Basin, while also recording valuable meteorological data for the town. This is our final long-term station build for the Colorado River Authority of Utah, with one other station for research and temporary installations. Thanks to Jordan Nielson at Trout Unlimited for connecting us to the amazing producer at this location. We are working with the Upper Colorado River Commission to set up a station in Green River, and hope to do so soon! #WeatherStation #Micrometeorology #Evapotranspiration #CampbellSciOnLocation

A nonnative tree-killing insect is invading northern Utah, attacking subalpine fir and potentially triggering yet another die-off of the region's long-stressed conifer forests. Bill Anderegg, University of Utah School of Biological Sciences Professor and director of the Wilkes Center for Climate Science and Policy study, co-authored the study in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service - International Institute of Tropical Forestry. https://lnkd.in/gHmxyQnz
