About this Event


Air Quality, Climate Change, and the Future of the Wasatch Front: A View from Space

Two issues—air quality and climate change—are central to the quality of life along Utah’s Wasatch Front. Air quality and climate change are interlinked in myriad ways. We will explore these linkages from space, where satellites are providing an unprecedented perspective.
