Salt giants and other striking formations in the Dead Sea reveal how evaporation and fluid dynamics shape Earth’s geological past and present. The Dead Sea represents a unique convergence of conditions: it lies at Read More
For thousands of years, Utah’s Great Salt Lake reflected only natural shifts in climate and water flow. But fresh sediment analyses show that in just two centuries, human activity forced the lake into states Read More
University of Utah geologists study reed-covered mounds that mark locations where ancient groundwater emerges at the surface. As water levels in the Great Salt Lake continue to drop, a new and unusual feature has emerged, Read More
Water was silently sabotaging battery performance until scientists added salt. By stabilizing the structure of water, sulfate salts stopped harmful chemical reactions and extended battery life by 10x. The fix is simple, scalable, and could Read More
The Dead Sea is a confluence of extraordinary conditions: the lowest point on Earth’s surface, with one of the world’s highest salinities. The high concentration of salt gives it a correspondingly high density, Read More
