Peter Veals

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah. My research seeks to improve our understanding of precipitation on both weather and climate timescales – how it is forecasted, estimated, and modeled. Much of my work is focused on improving the skill of snowfall forecasts in mountainous regions. I'm also the co-developer of a technique to make natural crystalline snow for ski resorts, and we're commercializing it through a company called Quantum Snow.
