Great Salt Lake Basin Hydrologic Observatory Team

A principal goal of CUAHSI is the development of an open community-based effort to revolutionize hydrologic science. The Great Salt Lake Basin Hydrologic Observatory development team is highly committed to this concept of openness. It is our hope that researchers from across the U.S. will involve themselves and even lead aspects of the proposed observatory. Please contact the following individuals if you would like to become part of the Great Salt Lake Basin Hydrologic Observatory Team:
