Collection of Great Salt Lake Data

Data from the Great Salt Lake and its basin. The Great Salt Lake is a highly saline terminal lake with considerable fluctuations in water surface elevation and salinity. The lake is divided into two arms by a railroad causeway. River inflows enter the larger south arm while the north arm only receives minimal surface runoff. Evaporation from both arms and limited exchange of water and salt through causeway openings result in complex water and salinity processes in the lake. This collection of HydroShare resources makes data from multiple studies on the lake and its hydrology and salinity available for public use
