New study finds that the loss of Great Salt Lake could reduce local precipitation by ~50%.
We need to stop talking about lake evaporation as a "loss" or "water use". It is the source of our rain and snow.

We are so honored to learn from Great Salt Lake Commissioner Brian Steed tomorrow @BYU.
Join us at 11 to discuss one of the most important challenges and opportunities for Utah.

Learning from @Clancy4Utah at a Civic Engagement event @BYU.
"The key difference between a grenade thrower and someone who gets stuff done is the willingness to meet people where they are."
I'm so grateful for our members of the #utleg who take the time to educate and listen.

This is what happens if you count on weather variability to sustain your terminal lake.

Hashtag this shouldn't be controversial. Hashtag Grow the Flow!
How are we going to get water to Great Salt Lake? @ASU's @rhett_larson has three water security rules that can help.
Like balancing a budget, we should start with living within our means.

I am excited to announce a new movement to help Great Salt Lake.
We are building a public action network of 100,000 people to constructively support bold policy innovation and an emergency rescue of the lake we love and depend on.
Follow @growtheflow and join the movement.
Will you help us #GrowTheFlow to Great Salt Lake?

Congratulations to @BYU grad student Brian Brown on his first lead paper!
Working with an @NSF Research Coordination Network, Brian analyzed flow behavior of >3,000 rivers around the world.
Really fascinating math and practical breakthroughs.

Important paper by @BYU professor Rachel Wood on the ecosystem services provided by Great Salt Lake's wetlands.
We manage wetlands for birds and water, but they also remove pollutants to help keep our water clean and our communities healthy.

Some thoughts and questions about the dissolution of the Utah Lake development project.
I'm hopeful but pensive.

After the most epic snowmelt ever, the Great Salt Lake appears to have stopped rising.
It's a tale of two lakes though.
The south arm is up 5', almost as high as it was in 2020.
The north arm is already headed toward a record low.
We've got a shot at saving the lake.

Is 1.5C above pre-industrial safe enough?
No.
We need climate restoration.
I'd love to hear your criticisms of our new perspective piece out today in @PLOSClimate.

1/ New opinion article @UniLUT & international collaborators doi.org/10.1371/journal.pclm… discusses requirement of tightening the 1.5°C climate target to avoid risk of elevating climate tipping points. A 1.0C climate target is a safer target and possible via negative emissions.

Really excited to participate in the @SummitCountyHD and @WoodwellClimate panel on climate change and public health. See some of you today at 5:30!

This was such a fulfilling and mind-opening project to work on.
Thank you @EmileeSevere, @imerrigo, and all those who made this possible.

What's the best way to get reliable power to the billion + people without it?
Another analysis by @ChristianOnRE and colleagues on the economic, environmental, and societal benefits of leapfrogging straight to clean renewable energy.

Today's the day! Join us at 11am @BYU for Director Ferry's seminar on Water in Utah.
From drought to flood and back again, there is no more important topic right now.

Interested in flooding, drought, agriculture, forests, land management, or Great Salt Lake?
Don't miss this week's seminar @BYU by @UtahDNR director Joel Ferry.
We are so excited to welcome @UtahDNR director Joel Ferry to @BYU this Thursday!
Director Ferry will be talking about one of the state's most important issues: water.
Come learn and discuss at 11am. @byulifesciences

So happy to share this paper by former postdoc Dr. Lee. The "critical zone" is an important and enigmatic concept that tries to better include the subsurface in our understanding of ecosystems.
It is also about Elvis, apparently.

So excited about this student-led event @BYU. Come learn what can be done to replenish Great Salt Lake.
No offense, but Gen Z does the best family home evenings...

Some projects follow a linear path from concept to completion...but the good ones are an adventure.
After 9 years and two continents, check out this fascinating dive into the world beneath with @EmileeSevere, @imerrigo, and friends at @OSURennes & @NSF!
