This module introduces students to the geography, geology, ecology and history of The Greater Salt Lake Ecosystem region.
Saline lakes are some of the most unusual, and misunderstood, physical regions of the world.
In fact, saline lakes in general and The Great Salt Lake in particular, supports a tremendous diversity of life. The Great Salt Lake Ecosystem region is also one of North America's fastest growing urban regions. And of course, in 2002 the region will host the Winter Olympics . This makes the region an ideal place to study human-environment interaction and the human dimensions of global environmental change. Whether you're visiting this web site for fun or study, we hope you have an enjoyable and stimulating trip .
