Bill Anderegg adds his voice as part of a group of researchers from across the United States calling for a scientific basis for nature-based climate solutions (NbCS). Anderegg is the director of the Wilkes Center for Climate Science and Policy and is a GCSC faculty affiliate. In their opinion piece in PNAS, the scientists note […]
Read MoreSixteen GCSC faculty affiliates are part of the Utah team that will develop research and technology hubs to address water security and other effects of climate change in the arid Southwest. NSF Engines: Southwest Sustainability Innovation Engine (SWSIE) will seek to establish the Southwest as a leader in carbon capture, water security and renewable energy […]
Read MoreGCSC affiliate faculty Bill Anderegg, Sara Grineski, Tim Collins and colleagues have published a study looking at the potential effects of wildfire and tree mortality on property values in these areas in the U.S. Earth’s rapidly changing climate is taking an increasingly heavy toll on landscapes around the world in the form of floods, rising […]

Climate change worsens existing problems globally and locally. Hot summers become hotter, droughts threaten water supply and fuel wildfires, and historically marginalized members of our community experience these consequences most intensely. […]
Read MoreWilliam Anderegg, Assistant Professor in the School of Biological Sciences, has a central research question: What is the future of ecosystems in a changing climate? His lab studies how drought and climate change affect forest ecosystems, and seeks to gain a better mechanistic understanding of how climate change will affect forests around the world. In a […]
