Utah is proud of its snow. The state of Utah even trademarked the phrase âThe Greatest Snow on Earthâ and put it on its license plates. But climate change is a significant threat to Utahâs famous snow and ski resorts.
As part of their work in the Climate Adaptation Science program, a group of Utah State University graduate students and faculty from the S.J. & Jessie E. Quinney College of Natural Resources examined historical temperature data from 1980-2019 and projected climate data for 2021-2100. In addition, they conducted interviews with Utah ski resort managers to better understand how climate change will impact winter recreation and how ski resorts can adapt to these changes.

A new study from North Carolina State University found that certain types of messages could influence how people perceive information about the spread of diseases from wildlife to humans.
The Southwest has grown hotter and drier during the past decade, and new climate data from the federal government shows these changes have been dramatic, shifting the long-term averages that represent the region’s “normal.”
The country’s updated climate “normals” were released Tuesday by the National Centers for Environmental Information, encompassing weather data for the 30-year period from 1991 through 2020. The federal government releases these long-term averages every 10 years as an up-to-date benchmark for comparing with the weather on a daily basis.
Compared with the 30 years that ended in 2010, the new averages show temperatures have gotten warmer nearly everywhere in the country. But the warming has been most pronounced in the Southwest, with average temperatures generally rising between 0.5 degrees F and 1 degree F, an increase that federal meteorologists said clearly reflects the influence of global warming.
