SELENIUM REMOVAL PROCESSES FROM GREAT SALT LAKE, UTAH: ESTIMATING SEDIMENTATION AND VERIFYING VOLATILIZATION FLUXES

Removal processes for selenium (Se) from the Great Salt Lake, Utah (GSL) are investigated by estimation of sedimentation flux from analysis of lake cores and direct measurement of volatilization flux for comparison to a predictive model. To estimate Se removal by sedimentation, lake sediment cores were used to delineate qualitative sedimentation regions, estimate mass accumulation rates (MAR), and determine sediment
