Critical Salinity

The salinity of Great Salt Lake (GSL) plays a very influential role in shaping the lake’s unique ecological, recreational, and mineral resource uses. This memorandum summarizes a review of the literature and GSL databases to describe critical salinity ranges that influence these resources and uses. It presents a GSL Salinity Matrix intended to provide decision-makers with an important illustration; not to predict how GSL’s salinity will change, but to illustrate the potential consequences of salinity changes.

Title Pages

Howard Stansbury's classic work is bibliographically complex, with two true editions as well as multiple issues of the first edition. The first edition was printed in Philadelphia; its 487 stereotyped pages were issued in 1852 under two different titles with three variant title-pages (an official US government issue and two trade issues). A second edition was printed in Washington in 1853 and had 495 typeset pages (with corrections and additions in the appendices). The issue of 1855 is identical to the 1852 trade issue, except for the change of the date on the title-page. Each issue and edition, with its bindings and plates, is described.

Pleistocene Lake Bonneville created many classic examples of lacustrine shoreline landforms, which preserve a wide variety of vertebrate fossils. _is _eld guide provides a review of the published literature for a sampling of the lake’s world-class localities. _is guide also provides a brief overview of modern Great Salt Lake and its microbialites recently exposed by near-record low lake levels. Stops include G.K. Gilbert Geologic View Park, Draper spit, Steep Mountain beach, Point of the Mountain spit, American Fork delta, Stockton Bar, and Great Salt Lake State Park.
