Science-based analysis of Utah’s air, water, energy, and education.
About
Salt & Sky Brief is a bi-weekly, one-page newsletter focused on Utah’s air quality, water systems, the Great Salt Lake, energy affordability, and public education.
Each issue breaks down complex environmental and policy questions into clear, evidence-based analysis — explaining not just what is happening, but why it matters for Utah’s long-term health, economy, and communities.
The newsletter is written by Dr. Kevin Perry, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah. An expert in air quality, his research has examined dust emissions from exposed lakebeds across the Intermountain West and the environmental impacts of the Great Salt Lake. He is a member of the Great Salt Lake Strike Team and has been recognized as a University of Utah Presidential Societal Impact Scholar for his public education and outreach.
Salt & Sky Brief is grounded in science, guided by data, and committed to practical, durable solutions.
