Great Salt Lake is recognized regionally, nationally, and hemispherically for its extensive wetlands, and its tremendous and often unparalleled values to migratory birds. These values are derived from the lake’s unique physical features, including its immense size, dynamic w...

Great Salt Lake Past and Present: Elevation and Salinity Changes to Utah's Great Salt Lake from Railroad Causeway Alterations

Dendroarchaeology of the Salt Lake Tabernacle, Utah

We examined tree rings from Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Beissn.) Franco) timbers in the Salt Lake Tabernacle, constructed from 1863–1867 in Salt Lake City, Utah. A seismic upgrade to the Tabernacle initiated in 2005 required the replacement of wooden timbers with steel beams. Our objectives were to 1) determine cutting dates for the timbers to identify logs that may have bee...

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...

Comparative study of growth patterns Alburnoides namaki Bogutskaya and Coad, 2009 in the Salt Lake Basin

To study the growth patterns of Alburnoides namaki in the salt lake, For this purpose a total of 325 specimens were sampled using by By hand trawl net with two centimeters mesh (20 mm distance from node to node) in winter of 2018. Male to female sex ratio in the population studied showed There was no significant difference between males and females in studied areas (X2 Gloushjerd=0.074, X2 Yunj...
