Natural resource managers can utilize this framework to design strategies for increasing resilience of GSL Basin waterbodies to climate change.
Great Salt Lake Playa Dust Suppression via Artificial Surface CrustingZachary Claerhout, University of Utah / Department of Atmospheric Sciences
Kevin Perry, Department of Atmospheric Sciences / University of UtahDust from the exposed portions of the Great Salt Lake (GSL) lakebed poses a potential health risk that may need to be mitigated if the lake level remains low. This study investigates the efficacy of artificial surface crusting via surface soil saturation as a potential dust suppression mechanism on the GSL playa.
