Faculty
Tim Garrett
Assistant Professor

821 WBB
Phone: (801) 581-5768
Fax: (801) 585-3681
Research Interests
My group focuses on using airborne observations to understand how small-scale cloud processes are important to climate. Current topics include the effects of pollution on the radiative properties of clouds, and the interactions between dynamics, radiation, and microphysics within tropical cirrus.

John Horel
Professor

483 INSCC
Phone: (801) 581-7091
Fax: (801) 585-3681
Research Interests
My research is centered on the weather and climate of the western United States, data assimilation, mountain meteorology, fire weather, and Great Salt Lake studies. I participate in the Mountain Meteorology Group within the department, which conducts a broad program of research related to weather and climate processes of the western United States.

Steven Krueger
Professor

817 WBB
Phone: (801) 581-3903
Fax: (801) 585-3681
Research Interests
My research interests include numerical simulation of cloud systems, with particular emphasis on the interactions between large-scale and cloud-scale processes, as well as turbulence and mixing in clouds.

Gerald 'Jay' Mace
Associate Professor

822 WBB
Phone: (801) 585-9489
Fax: (801) 585-3681
Research Interests
Cloud property retrieval algorithms, cloud parameterization in climate models

Kevin Perry
Assistant Professor

815 WBB
Phone: (801) 581-6138
Fax: (801) 585-3681
Research Interests
My primary research interests are concerned with identifying the sources, sinks, transport, optical properties, and climatic effects of particulate matter in the atmosphere.

Zhaoxia Pu
Assistant Professor

813 WBB
Phone: (801) 585-3864
Fax: (801) 585-3681
Research Interests
My research interests are in atmospheric data assimilation, numerical weather prediction and predictability. Primary areas of interest include: methods of data assimilation, proper use of new satellite and radar observations, data impact on numerical weather prediction and predictability. Additional areas of interest include hurricanes, precipitation and numerical modeling.

Thomas Reichler
Assistant Professor

484 INSCC
Phone: (801) 585-0040
Fax: (801) 585-3681
Research Interests
I am interested in large-scale atmospheric dynamics, including dynamics of climate, the coupling between the stratosphere and the troposphere, long-range atmospheric predictability, and numerical modeling of the atmosphere.
