  • Ecological Importance of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake
    Ecological Importance of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake File name: Ecological Role of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake Focus on the Keystone Taxon Chironomidae and HABs Version 1.2 Ecological Importance of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake With a Focus on the Role of the Keystone Taxon Chironomidae on HABs Progress Report January 28, 2017 By: David C. Richards, Ph. D. OreoHelix Consulting Phone: 406.580.7816 Email: [email protected] and Theron Miller, Ph.D. Jordan River Farmington Bay Water Quality Council OreoHelix Consulting 1 Ecological Importance of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake Introduction Benthic macroinvertebrates are a critical component of the ecology and ecosystem functioning of Utah Lake. They are a major link between sediment chemistry, water column chemistry, nutrient cycling, benthic algae, phytoplankton, and Utah Lake’s food web including carp, game fish, June suckers, waterfowl, shorebirds, etc. Benthic invertebrates provide underappreciated but invaluable ecosystem services and are keystone taxa instrumental for the functioning of Utah Lake’ ecosystem. It has become clear that several dominant benthic taxa, primarily chironomids, play a key role in the timing and intensity of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the lake. Very few studies have been conducted on the benthic invertebrate assemblages in Utah Lake (Barnes and Toole 1981, Spencer and Denton 2003, Shiozawa and Barnes 1977) and none were conducted at the level and intensity that is presently being accomplished by this group. No study has ever examined the role of benthic invertebrates on HABs in Utah Lake, this is the first. Our research is also an important element of sediment chemistry, nutrients, and food web models that are presently being conducted by us and others on Utah Lake.

  • Provo River Delta Groundbreaking June 11, 2020
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: June 11, 2020 MEDIA CONTACT: Cindy Gubler at 801-971-5639 or [email protected] A decade in the making: Officials break ground on nearly 260-acre Provo River Delta project to help recover the endangered June sucker PROVO — After more than a decade of planning and coordination, Chris Keleher, Director of Species Recovery at the Utah Department of Natural Resources, climbed aboard an excavator to perform a literal groundbreaking, while other project partners joined him to usher in the construction of the nearly 260-acre Provo River Delta project. The project will restore the interface between the Lower Provo River and Utah Lake as another step in the effort to recover the endangered June sucker. The project, which is located a half mile north of Utah Lake State Park, will take about five years to complete. Crews will start by excavating a system of braided waterways and wetlands into which the last mile and a half of the Lower Provo River will be diverted. This constructed system will provide the environs for Utah Lake and Provo River flows to meet and mingle. In 2022, the northern half of Skipper Bay dike, which was initially constructed in the 1940s to disconnect land east of it from Utah Lake, will be lowered and most of the Lower Provo River’s flow will be diverted north of its current location into a new channel. The Provo River and Utah Lake will once again be interconnected through a delta, providing essential habitat for the survival of the June sucker.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: Emilio Aleman Robin Hoffman Hitachi Kokusai Electric America, Ltd. Pipeline Communications 516.682.4406 973.746.6970 [email protected] [email protected] BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY-HAWAII SELECTS FOUR HITACHI SK-HD1000 HD CAMERAS TO PRODUCE HD PROGRAMMING FOR ITS WEBSITE AND BYU-TV WOODBURY, NEW YORK, May 19, 2009 – Hitachi Kokusai Electric America, Ltd., a leading provider of affordable, high performance cameras, today announced that Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYU-Hawaii)—an accredited, four-year undergraduate institution in Laie, HI—bought four Hitachi SK-HD1000 native 1080i HDTV studio/field production cameras to produce HD programming for its website (http://www.byuh.edu ) as well as for BYU Television. BYU-Hawaii and its sister colleges BYU (in Utah) and BYU-Idaho all produce their own programming—such as entertainment, documentaries, and educational programs. These shows are seen on BYU TV, the Brigham Young University-run TV network that reaches over 50 million homes nationwide on DirecTV, Dish Network, and cable systems, and a global audience via the Internet. While most of this programming has been done in SD, BYU-Hawaii bought the Hitachi SK-HD1000’s because the demand for HD is steadily increasing. ―Because of the superior price performance of the Hitachi SK-HD1000, we’ve been able to go hi-def four years sooner than we had planned. We could not have realized our goal to go hi-def so quickly without this camera because comparable competitors were cost-prohibitive,‖ said Lawrence Lau, manager of TV studios for BYU-Hawaii. ―Hitachi has also satisfied another key concern we had—reliability.

  • The Salt Lake Tabernacle: a Witness to the Growth of God’S Kingdom
    Chapter 5 The Salt Lake Tabernacle: A Witness to the Growth of God’s Kingdom Scott C. Esplin “ n great deeds something abides,” reminisced Joshua Lawrence IChamberlain, a famed Civil War colonel. “On great fields some- thing stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear, but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls. And reverent men and women from afar, and generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless field to ponder and dream; And lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into their souls.”1 For Latter-day Saints, the historic Salt Lake Tabernacle has become one of those sacred sites—a consecrated hall where “something abides” and “spirits linger” and where modern visitors are wrapped in “the shadow of a mighty presence” while visions of the Restoration “pass into their souls.” President Gordon B. Hinckley summarized the influence the Scott C. Esplin is an assistant professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University. 69 Salt Lake City: The Place Which God Prepared Tabernacle has had on the Church: “The Spirit of the Lord has been in this structure. It is sacred unto us.”2 With the construction of larger and more modern conference halls, the Salt Lake Tabernacle stands today as a silent witness to its pioneer past. Having undergone significant transformations throughout its life, the building serves not only as a monument to pioneer greatness but also as an example of changes in the Church’s history.
