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.
JOHN LIN is a Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences and the Scientific Director of the Wilkes Center for Climate Science & Policy. He has over 20 years of experience researching the emissions and transport of greenhouse gases and atmospheric pollutants, publishing over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers to date. He was selected as a Earth Leadership Fellow in 2022 and participates regularly in national and international research efforts such as with the World Meteorological Organization and the European Union. John's research group ( http://lair.utah.edu/) is carrying out greenhouse gas and air quality observations in the Salt Lake area, as well as in the Uinta Basin. John also works regularly with satellite observations from NASA to determine carbon emissions from cities around the world. He has recently served on the Great Salt Lake Strike Team to synthesize scientific knowledge and inform policy decisions surrounding the Great Salt Lake.
