Lake-size variations in the Lahontan and Bonneville basins

Benson, L., Currey, D., Yong Lao and Hostetler, S., 1992. Lake-size variations in the Lahontan and Bonneville basins between 13,000 and 9000 14C yr B.P.. Palaeogeogr., Palaeoclimatol., Palaeoecol., 95: 19-32. Recessions of Lakes Lahontan and Bonneville that commenced ~ 13,500 ~4C yr B.P. were interrupted at i> 11,500 14C yr B.P. in the Lahontan basin and ~ 12,200 14C yr B.P. in the Bonneville b...

Great Salt Lake Selenium Standard

The Great Salt Lake ecosystem is widely recognized to be unique and to have very high environmental and commercial value. Great Salt Lake is recognized regionally, nationally, and hemispherically for its extensive wetlands, and its tremendous and often unparalleled values to migratory birds.

A 3D Hydrodynamic Lake Model: Simulation on Great Slave Lake

Large lakes are recognized as an important influence on the circulation of the atmosphere; in return the resulting meteorological forcing also affects the lake thermal structure. This interaction is complex and continues to be a critical issue considering the millions of lakes in Canada, many of which are large, and are unaccounted for in the current climatic models. This paper evaluates the pr...

Extracting Minerals from the Great Salt Lake: Great Find or Great Fraud?

Nutritional minerals have been sourced from the Great Salt Lake (GSL) and provided to domestic and international markets since 1969. Endorheic properties of the lake leading to high mineral concentrations, in conjunction with the vastness of the lake, set the GSL apart as the most logical location for nutritional mineral extraction in the world. In spite of the vast abundance of mineral-based r...
