Crustal loading near Great Salt Lake, Utah
[1] Two sites of the BARGEN GPS network are located 30 km south of Great Salt Lake (GSL). Lake-level records since mid-1996 indicate seasonal water elevation variations of 0.3 m amplitude superimposed on a roughly ‘‘decadal’’ feature of amplitude 0.6 m. Using an elastic Green’s function and a simplified load geometry for GSL, we calculate that these variations translate into radial crustal load...
متن کاملVolatile selenium flux from the Great Salt Lake, Utah.
The removal mechanisms that govern Se concentrations in the Great Salt Lake are unknown despite this terminal lake being an avian habitat of hemispheric importance. However, the volatilization flux of Se from the Great Salt Lake has not been previously measured due to challenges of analysis in this hypersaline environment This paper presents results from recent field studies examining the spati...
متن کاملTemporal Study of the Microbial Diversity of the North Arm of Great Salt Lake, Utah, U.S.
We employed a temporal sampling approach to understand how the microbial diversity may shift in the north arm of Great Salt Lake, Utah, U.S. To determine how variations in seasonal environmental factors affect microbial communities, length heterogeneity PCR fingerprinting was performed using consensus primers for the domain Bacteria, and the haloarchaea. The archaeal fingerprints showed similar...
متن کاملSelenium mass balance in the Great Salt Lake, Utah.
A mass balance for Se in the south arm of the Great Salt Lake was developed for September 2006 to August 2007 of monitoring for Se loads and removal flows. The combined removal flows (sedimentation and volatilization) totaled to a geometric mean value of 2079 kg Se/yr, with the estimated low value being 1255 kg Se/yr, and an estimated high value of 3143 kg Se/yr at the 68% confidence level. The...
متن کاملHaloanaerobium alcaliphilum sp. nov., an anaerobic moderate halophile from the sediments of Great Salt Lake, Utah.
A strictly anaerobic, moderately halophilic, gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from Great Salt Lake, Utah, sediments and designated GSLST (T = type strain). Strain GSLST grew optimally at pH 6.7 to 7.0 but had a very broad pH range for growth (pH 5.8 to 10.0). The optimum temperature for growth was 37 degrees C, and no growth occurred at 15 or 55 degrees C. The optimum salt conce...
