2023 Annual Technical Conference Field Trip
From Prehistoric to Present: Archaeology, Geology, and Geomorphology of the Great Salt Lake RegionÂ
The Great Salt Lake is shaped by the interplay of water and sediment dynamics, fluctuations in lake level, and the accumulation of salts and minerals. However, in recent history, it is the human impact that has started to change the lake in ways we are only just starting to understand; declining water levels, altering salinity, habitat loss, dust storms and associated declining air quality are among some of the concerns the Great Salt Lake Region is facing. During this field trip we tracked the history of the Great Salt Lake; from its precursor geology and evolving geomorphology to the human influences that have shaped it from Prehistoric peoples to modern exploration for critical minerals.
