  Dr. Robert Gillies, the director of the Utah Climate Center, said, "That the southern part of the state is becoming dryer, and that the northern part of the state will become wetter."But hotter temperatures will likely evaporate away the extra moisture in the north."And that ends up being a net deficit," Gillies said.

  The discovery of a rhythm could be useful in helping to manage crops, reservoirs and water use, said Rob Gillies, the director of the Utah Climate Center.
  
  "It's giving you a telescope," Gillies said. "And allowing you to see into the future."
  
  Gillies and his team studied suspected patterns against temperature measurements, precipitation readings, tree-ring data and Great Salt Lake levels.
  ...
  Gillies' team also noticed that in the past 60 years or so northern Utah hasn't experienced the severe droughts that have been typical in the region.

  Robert Gillies, a Utah State University geographer, uses satellite data to map the heat coming off Atlanta's urban area.
  ...
  From an instrument aboard a National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite that detects radiated heat from the earth, Gillies can map what parts of the city are hotter than others, based on which areas are losing heat more quickly.
  ...
  Gillies will report on the heat distribution around the city including the fact that in Atlanta's central business district there is an intense hot zone encompassing 17 square miles (45 square kilometers).

  says Robert Gillies, director of the Utah Climate Center.
  
  A report Gillies helped prepare for Gov.Jon Huntsman Jr.'s Blue Ribbon Advisory Council on Climate Change indicates this sense of relief is incongruent with the actual situation."Ongoing greenhouse-gas emissions at or above current levels will likely result in a decline in Utah's mountain snowpack, and the threat of severe and prolonged episodic drought in Utah is real," he wrote.

  Rob Gillies, director of the Utah Climate Center, said the findings give a clearer picture of what to expect and confirm trends scientists are already seeing.
  
  "The exact details are not yet clear, but such shifts in regional climate will undoubtedly affect many ecosystems that support us as well as critical water resources we depend upon," he said.
