Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 07:44 PM | Dataset Last Updated: August 23, 2023 at 12:00 AM
These are physical and geochemical (elemental, strontium isotope) data from dust and sediments collected from and around Great Salt Lake, Utah. Data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey Utah Water Science Center (West Valley City, Utah) to better understand the degree to which populations in northern Utah are affected by Great Salt Lake dust, dust from other sources, and metals pollution. The samples were processed at the Utah Water Science Center and geochemical analysis was performed at the University of Utah's ICP-MS Metals and Strontium Isotope Facility (Salt Lake City, Utah). These data can be used to evaluate the spatial variability of dust and metals deposition to urban areas and natural ecosystems near Great Salt Lake.
