Welcome! This is Joshua Dylan Harvey, an independent journalist and a senior at Colorado State University. This website is meant to be an informative transmedia project focused on the Great Salt Lake.

Great Salt Lake Satellite Images sourced from European Space Agency in 1985 and 2022.

These images of the Great Salt Lake show the drastic differences between 1985 and 2022. In June of 1985, according to the NASA Earth Observatory, the water levels were at 4,209.7 feet. Comparing that to November 2022, according to the Utah Divison of Water Resources the water level was at 4188.5 feet, a record low. The difference is 21.2 feet in water level.

On the page titled Article, you can find the journalistic article that I have written that provide an overview for the topic as well as what the Great Salt Lake dessicating is impacting. This article also covers some ways the community can get involved in the process of saving the Great Salt Lake.
