Faculty Feature - Sara Grineski
Congratulations to Dr. Sara Grineski, lead author and professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies, for her latest research demonstrating how wind-carried dust from the exposed bed of Great Salt Lake is disproportionately affecting disadvantaged communities in the Salt Lake metro area.
The findings suggest restoring the lake to a healthy water level would reduce disparities in harmful dust exposure experienced by different racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups, along with delivering other ecological and economic benefits.
