Utah’s Wasatch Mountains received a short-lived sprinkling of snow earlier this month and McKenzie Skiles is among those hoping for more snow soon. Skiles is an associate professor of geography at the University of Utah and directs the Snow Hydro Lab at the U, where she researches how dust from urban and natural sources, such as the Great Salt Lake, impacts snowpack. In this episode of U Rising, host Julie Kiefer talks with Skiles about the surprising—and perhaps alarming—relationship between dust and snowmelt and the implications of a drier climate on snowpack and the state's water resources.
