Salt Thickness Study

The University of Utah hired a sonic drill to obtain salt cores for their salt thickness study in partnership with the BLM and the Intrepid Potash Mining Company. In addition to testing the salt thickness, the University of Utah and a professor from Westminster College are also studying stratigraphy, salt flat footprint, salinity, water chemistry, weather dynamics, microbial environment, and human interactions with the salt flats.
