Dust and sediment data from Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Front, Utah, 2018-19
These are physical and geochemical (elemental, strontium isotope) data from dust and sediments collected from the Salt Lake Valley, Utah between 2018 and 2019. Data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey Utah Water Science Center (West Valley City, Utah) to examine contributions of dust from the dry lakebed of Great Salt Lake, other regional playas, and anthropogenic sources to passive dust samplers deployed throughout the rapidly growing cities at the foot of the central Wasatch Mountains, referred to as the Wasatch Front. 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 better understand the spatial variability of dust deposition to the Wasatch Front.
