More than ever, when Utah landscapes swing between extreme drought and unprecedented flooding, the state needs data-informed answers. Within just a few years, the Janet Quinney Lawson Institute for Land, Water, and Air has been dubbed the “red telephone” for policy makers when it comes to challenges with Utah’s shared resources. Building on a land-grant legacy older than the state itself, the institute guides Utah land, water, and air policy by connecting decision makers with high-quality research. 

The institute is the embodiment of USU’s land-grant mission. We span all colleges and many research centers to provide targeted support on areas that will positively impact Utah’s land, water, and air. We connect the University’s work to people who can use it, and we bring their problems back to USU researchers to help solve real-world, practical challenges. 

A gift to the Janet Quinney Lawson Institute for Land, Water, and Air provides multiple benefits. Let’s work together to design your impact on the areas of the Institute’s work that matter the most to you.
