>>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Utah
>>Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife Resources,
>>released the first of two new maps defining the bottom surface of the
>> Great Salt Lake, Utah. This map provides the first detailed,

>>Prior to the 1980's detailed information about many aspects of the Great
>>Salt Lake, including bathymetric data was scarce. Flooding in the early
>>1980's increased concern for the lake's ecosystem. Avian resources and
>>the emergence of the brine shrimp industry created both public interest
>>and management concern. To fill the need for a better understanding of
>>the physical and chemical characteristics of the lake, how the lake
>>functions, and how man is affecting these characteristics and functions,
>>bathymetric data was collected for the south part of the Great Salt Lake
>>during 2002-04 using a single-beam, high-definition fathometer and
>>real-time differential global positioning system were used.
>>
>>Efforts are underway to use this new data for lake circulation modeling,
>>chemical transport, and to better define the relationship between lake
>>bathymetry and its biological and ecological components. The
>>bathymetric map and accompanying information sheets can be found on the
