Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Great Salt Lake lies in northern Utah, in the United States, and is the largest saltwater lake in the western hemisphere. As a consequence of climate change, its water levels have significantly decreased. According to the Utah Department of Natural Resources, the Great Salt Lake has recently reached its lowest level in 170 years of data records. Its shrinking has important consequences on local biodiversity, putting migrating birds at risk, as well as impacting the local lake-based economy. The water deficit in the Great Salt Lake is visible in this image, created with a mosaic of Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite acquisitions of 4 and 7 July 2022. The Copernicus Sentinel satellites deliver key information for the monitoring of water bodies across the globe.
