| Title | A Paleolimnological History of Metals Contamination and Eutrophication in the Great Salt Lake |
| Creator | Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. |
| Description | Multiple sediment cores were used to address how metals contamination and eutrophication has changed over the last 200 years in the Great Salt Lake. The cores from Gilbert and Farmington Bay were sectioned in 0.5-cm intervals, and analyzed for metals & various metrics of nutrient loading and algal growth. Metal concentrations in the cores from Gilbert Bay showed increases that paralleled the known production of the specific metals in Utah. For example, lead in the sediments increased 20 to... |
