Emissions of NOx and carbon monoxide have dropped on the city's streets since 2005, according to new atmospheric sciences research that could help Utah address its air quality problems.

In a first of its kind breakthrough, U geophysicists used electromagnetic data from airborne surveys to characterize a deep freshwater reservoir under Farmington Bay.

The root of human-caused climate change is carbon emissions. Corrin's work as an SRI Fellow focuses on how these emissions can affect plant growth.

Thanks to upstream diversions and climate change, Utah’s Great Salt Lake has shrunk by 70% since 1989, exposing about 800 square miles of playa and mudflats—along with numerous curiosities.
