“…The BSFs, located in the western part of the Great Salt Lake Desert, is a large playa known for its salt crust [10–12] . A remnant of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville, it supports a predominantly halite crust, which undergoes partial dissolution during winter and recrystallization during summer.…”

Halobacterium bonnevillei sp. nov., Halobaculum saliterrae sp. nov. and Halovenus carboxidivorans sp. nov., three novel carbon monoxide-oxidizing Halobacteria from saline crusts and soils Abstract Three novel carbon monoxide-oxidizing Halobacteria were isolated from Bonneville Salt Flats (Utah, USA) salt crusts and nearby saline soils. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains PCN9 T , WSA2 T and WSH3 T belong to the genera Halobacterium, Halobaculum and Halovenus, respectively. Strains PCN9 T , WSA2 T and WSH3 T grew optimally at 40 °C (PCN9 T ) or 50 °C (WSA2 T , WSH3 T ). NaCl optima were 3 M (PCN9 T , WSA2 T ) or 4 M NaCl (WSH3 T ). Carbon monoxide was oxidized by all isolates, each of which contained a molybdenum-dependent CO dehydrogenase. G+C contents for the three respective isolates were 66.75, 67.62, and 63.97 mol% as derived from genome analyses. The closest phylogenetic relatives for PCN9 T , WSA2 T and WSH3 T were Halobacterium noricense A1 T , Halobaculum roseum D90 T and Halovenus aranensis EB27 T with 98.71, 98.19 and 95.95 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively. Genome comparisons of PCN9 T with Halobacterium noricense A1 T yielded an average nucleotide identity (ANI) of 82.0% and a digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) value of 25.7 %; comparisons of WSA2 T with Halobaculum roseum D90 T yielded ANI and dDDH values of 86.34 and 31.1 %, respectively. The ANI value for a comparison of WSH3 T with Halovenus aranensis EB27 T was 75.2 %. Physiological, biochemical, genetic and genomic characteristics of PCN9 T , WSA2 T and WSH3 T differentiated them from their closest phylogenetic neighbours and indicated that they represent novel species for which the names Halobaculum bonnevillei, Halobaculum saliterrae and Halovenus carboxidivorans are proposed, respectively. The type strains are PCN9 T (=JCM 32472=LMG 31022=ATCC TSD-126), WSA2 T (=JCM 32473=ATCC TSD-127) and WSH3 T (=JCM 32474=ATCC TSD-128).

“…The timing, volume, and concentrations of brine flow, either by human use or natural and humanengineered processes, needs further exploration in understanding observed changes to the salt crust sediments. While geologic processes dominated this depositional system in the past (Lines, 1979), current human-related uses impact fluxes in solutes and water as well as surface texture and morphology (Jewell et al, 2016). They play a significant role in how the landscape now changes.…”

This publication is the result of more than 3 decades of sequence stratigraphy research and application. The objective is to emphasize the most important aspects of Sequence Stratigraphy-a method to guide geologic interpretation of stratigraphic data (seismic profiles, well-logs, cores and outcrops) across scales (from local to regional and global) and depositional environments (from continental to deep marine).The stratigraphic concept of a depositional sequence was introduced to the scientific literature by Peter Vail and his colleagues in the late 70s, building on the shoulders of giants like Chamberlain, Sloss and Wheeler. Since then, several papers compared and contrasted the original sequence-stratigraphic school published in the AAPG Memoir 26 in 1977 with other approaches to subdivide the geologic record, as well as, debating the model validity and impact on the community. At its core, the "model" is really a stratigraphic interpretation method, which was never explicitly documented in the literature. The objective of this book is to present the sequence stratigraphic method in its current form in an attempt to clarify its usage and application in diverse geologic data and depositional environments. This publication is the result of more than 3 decades of sequence stratigraphy research and application. The objective is to emphasize the most important aspects of Sequence Stratigraphy-a method to guide geologic interpretation of stratigraphic data (seismic profiles, well-logs, cores and outcrops) across scales (from local to regional and global) and depositional environments (from continental to deep marine). This book in an 11 x 17 format is designed to be easily used for teaching or self-learning experiences. In the second edition of the "Atlas", the book was divided in 2 separately bound volumes-Exercises and Solutions-to make it easier to use the publication as text book for sequence stratigraphy courses in universities. Also, a new exercise was added and several of the existing exercises went through major updating and editing.

“…Once higher resolution DEMs (e.g., LIDAR, drone-derived products) are available for the entire area encompassing the Bonneville shoreline, more quantitative and objective methods can be used to measure the elevations of shoreline features, (e.g., Hare et al, 2001;Jewell, 2016;Jewell et al, 2016; Section S2).…”

Since G. K. Gilbert's foundational work in the eastern Great Basin during the late 1800s, the late Pleistocene Lake Bonneville (30-10 ka) has been recognized as a natural laboratory for various Quaternary studies, including lithospheric deformation due to surface loading and climate-forced water balance changes since the Last Glacial Maximum (∼21 ka). Such studies rely on knowledge of the elevations of Lake Bonneville's paleoshoreline features and depositional landforms, which record a complex history of lake level variations induced by deglacial climate change. In this paper, we present (1) a new compilation of 178 elevation measurements of shoreline features marking Lake Bonneville's greatest areal extent measured using high-precision differential GPS (dGPS), and (2) a reconstructed outline of the highest shoreline based on dGPS measurements, submeter-resolution aerial imagery, topographic digital elevation models (DEMs), and field observations. We also (3) devise a simplified classification scheme and method for standardizing shoreline elevation measurement for different shoreline morphologies that includes constraints on the position of the still water level (SWL) relative to each feature type. The deformation pattern described by these shoreline features can help resolve the relative effects of local hydro-isostasy due to the lake load and regional solid earth deflection due to the Laurentide ice sheet, with potential implications for Earth rheology, glacial isostatic adjustment, and eustatic sea level change.
