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 ...
The shrinking Great Salt Lake is facing ecological collapse as salinity levels rise. State leaders hope a hearty snowpack and a surplus in the state budget can save the it.
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 ...
