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.
His research focuses on understanding polar climates and, in particular, polar clouds. He is also involved in a project
to forecast streamflows in Idaho.
