Von P. Walden
Dr. Walden is an associate professor in the Geography Department of the University of Idaho (Moscow) where he teaches courses in meteorology, climatology, and global climatic change. He is also currently serving as Interim Director of Idaho EPSCoR/IDeA. His research focuses on understanding polar climates and, in particular, polar clouds. He is also the Lead Scientist on a project to study Water Resources in a Changing Climate through Idaho EPSCoR.
