Projecting the impacts of a shrinking Great Salt Lake on dust exposure along the Wasatch Front
This project examines the dust exposure risks from the receding Great Salt Lake, using models to simulate dust emissions and transport across the Wasatch Front. It will evaluate the impact of different water levels on dust exposure, providing Utah DAQ with data to determine dust source contributions and identify communities at risk.

Characterizing Air Quality Impacts from Exceptional Events along the Wasatch Front
This study, led by researchers at BYU, will use particulate matter (PM) sampling to identify regional dust sources that impact local air quality and public health, as well as model how dust sources might change in the future. Principal Investigators: Dr. Greg Carling (BYU) Funded by Science for Solutions Research Grant: $150,000
