The Great Salt Lake is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere [1] and the eighth-largest terminal lake in the world. [2] It lies in the northern part of the U.S. state of Utah and has a substantial impact upon the local climate , particularly through lake-effect snow .

The main reasons for sea level fluctuations in the last 15 million years are the Antarctic ice sheet and Antarctic post-glacial rebound during warm periods. The current sea level is about 130 metres higher than the historical minimum. Historically low levels were reached during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), about 20,000
Utah’s state park system estimates salinity values range from around 5% to 27% - much greater than an average ocean’s 3% salinity level. The lake's extreme salinity levels make it inhospitable ...
Utah's Great Salt Lake dropped to its lowest recorded level this month amid a two-decade drought, a grim milestone as researchers and politicians point to grave threats to wildlife and people ...
Comparison of two sea level reconstructions during the last 500 Myr: Exxon curve and Hallam curve. The scale of change during the last glacial/interglacial transition is indicated with a black bar. The sea-level curve (also known as the eustatic curve) is the representation of the changes of the sea level relative to present day mean sea level ...
Water levels at Utah's Great Salt Lake reached a new historic low on Sunday, and officials project levels will continue to drop for the next few months. New drone footage shot by a Utah resident ...
The lake occupied the present-day basin of the Great Salt Lake, and was far larger, covering about 32,000 square miles (83,000 km 2). As it rose the lake level caused seepage at, then breached, the ancient level of Red Rock Pass , a mountain pass at the headwaters of the Portneuf River , a tributary of the Snake River above present-day American ...
