THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH

The University of Utah has created a new, interdisciplinary faculty group focusing on areas of Society, Water, and Climate (SWC). This transformative group connects research on hydrology, air quality, climate change, societal response, and policy, seeking to meld multiple scientific perspectives to lead society towards sustainable water solutions in a changing world... The University of Utah currently has faculty members conducting research in these areas; however, the University administration identified this nexus of research areas as an opportunity for the development of a research group. Further enhancing strengths in this area at the University of Utah will allow us to contribute to solving important issues facing the Western US and many other regions around the world. Filling this gap also means that we will broaden our ability to train undergraduates and graduates to lead society towards sustainable water solutions in a changing world.
