The Great Salt Lake crisis reaches far beyond its shoreline: toxic dust, reduced snowpack, $2B in annual economic activity and more are at risk
The Great Salt Lake Strike Team, co-chaired by University of Utah biology professor William Anderegg, is connecting science to real solutions.
A novel angle on antibiotic resistance may come from understanding how bacteria protect themselves from viruses. Dr. Karasov’s bold new project explores how bacterial antiviral defense systems could reveal entirely new insights into antibiotic resistance and fundamental biology.
New research led by Prof. William Anderegg, in collaboration with the Wilkes Center for Climate Science and Policy, uses interactive maps and tools to show where forests are likely to remain strong carbon sinks and where other climate risks may limit their ability to store carbon.
Northern forests are warming up to 4x faster than the global average, making accessible climate data more critical than ever.
New University of Utah research from Wanwan Liang and Jon Wang maps 40 years of forest change to better track wildfire, timber harvest, drought and carbon impacts.
The results are available to the public. “This is taxpayer-funded science,” Wang said. “We want people to be able to use it.”

PhD defended! 🎓 Andrew Butts studied how dArc1—a gene derived from ancient viral elements—regulates reward, learning, and sleep-related behaviors in #Drosophila. Congrats, Andrew!
