Welcome to the Great Salt Lake Institute
Great Salt Lake (GSL) is a unique, understudied, and undervalued national landmark. As one of the extreme ecosystems of the world, where life is tested at its limits, GSL provides new territory for exploration, learning and stewardship.
We invite you to join with us in our quest to understand the lake and all that it offers. Please explore this site and sign up for our free membership directory.
