Partnerships and collaborative arrangements have been formed within several partner Universities to form a diverse team with a broad range of research abilities and interests, access to a wide range of data and infrastructure, and the ability to provide for the requirements of a large-scale hydrologic observatory. Follow this link for information about the current Great Salt Lake Basin Hydrologic Observatory Team.

The CUAHSI member Universities that are partnering to propose the Great Salt Lake Basin as a Hydrologic Observatory include:

In addition to the partner Universities, partnerships with the following organizations have been or are being developed to support the Great Salt Lake Basin Hydrologic Observatory. These partnerships will take on many forms, including coordination of research activities, infrastructure emplacement, infrastructure maintenance, and data sharing.
