The features of interest that that will be discussed in this Science Focus! article are labeled on the large image on the next page. (Other features and landmarks are also labeled.) It should be no surprise to be informed that the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) was designed to observe the oceans. Other articles in the Science Focus! series have discussed various oceanographic applications of SeaWiFS data. However, this article discusses geological features that indicate the presence of seas that existed in Earth's paleohistory which can be discerned in SeaWiFS imagery. SeaWiFS image of the western United States. Great Salt Lake and Lake Bonneville The Great Salt Lake is the remnant of ancient Lake Bonneville, which gave the Bonneville Salt Flats their name. Geologists estimate that Lake Bonneville existed between 23,000 and 12,000 years ago, during the last glacial period. Lake Bonneville's existence ended abruptly when the waters of the lake began to drain rapidly through Red Rock Pass in southern Idaho into the Snake River system (see "Lake Bonneville's Flood" link below). As the Earth's climate warmed and became drier, the remaining water in Lake Bonneville evaporated, leaving the highly saline waters of the Great Salt Lake. The reason for the high concentration of dissolved minerals in the Great Salt Lake is due to the fact that it is a "terminal basin" lake; water than enters the lake from streams and rivers can only leave by evaporation.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Phylogenomics of the Hyalella amphipod species‑fock of the Andean Altiplano Francesco Zapelloni1,3, Joan Pons2,3, José A. Jurado‑Rivera1, Damià Jaume2 & Carlos Juan1,2* Species diversifcation in ancient lakes has enabled essential insights into evolutionary theory as they embody an evolutionary microcosm compared to continental terrestrial habitats. We have studied the high‑altitude amphipods of the Andes Altiplano using mitogenomic, nuclear ribosomal and single‑ copy nuclear gene sequences obtained from 36 Hyalella genomic libraries, focusing on species of the Lake Titicaca and other water bodies of the Altiplano northern plateau. Results show that early Miocene South American lineages have recently (late Pliocene or early Pleistocene) diversifed in the Andes with a striking morphological convergence among lineages. This pattern is consistent with the ecological opportunities (access to unoccupied resources, initial relaxed selection on ecologically‑ signifcant traits and low competition) ofered by the lacustrine habitats established after the Andean uplift. Lakes with an uninterrupted history of more than 100,000 years (ancient lakes) may be considered as natural laboratories for evolutionary research as they constitute hotspots of aquatic animal speciation and phenotypic diversity1. Changes in lake size and episodes of desiccation are considered to be critical factors in the speciation and extinction of lake faunas, with the creation of new habitats afer lake expansions as the primary driver of intra-lake diversifcation2–4. For instance, cichlid radiations in the East African Lakes seem to have been trig- gered by lake expansions afer periods of intense desiccation, with the surviving species flling up empty niches afer lake reflling2.

    Lake Basin Management Initiative Experience and Lessons Learned Brief Lake Titicaca Mario Francisco Revollo Vargas* Maximo Liberman Cruz Alberto Lescano Rivero 1. Description Drought and floods are the natural hazards that have the greatest environmental, social and eco- nomic impact on the Bolivian-Peruvian high plateau (altiplano) which includes the hydrological basin of Lake Titicaca, the Desaguadero River, Lake Poopo and the Salt Lake of Coipasa, collec- tively designated by the acronym TDPS. Through good management, the system can be regulated in benefit of the people who live in the region. Territorial Scope The project area (Figure 1) includes the hydrological basins of Lake Titicaca, the Desaguadero River, and lakes Poopo and Salar de Coipasa (TDPS system). The TDPS system is located in parts of Peru, Bolivia and Chile, spread between latitude 14° 03' to 20° 00' South and between longitude 66° 21' to 71° 07' West. The total area of the system is 143,900 km2 and includes the sub-region Puno in Peru and the departments of La Paz and Oruro in Bolivia. The basins included in the TDPS system have the following characteristics: Lake Titicaca This paper was presented at the Lake Basin Management Initiative 2 Regional Workshop for Europe, Central Asia and the Americas catchment area: 56,270 km 2 held at Saint Michaelʼs College in Vermont, USA, 18-21 June - average lake area: 8,400 km 2003.

    Lake Titicaca

    III. PALEOHYDROLOGY IIL1. A 20,000 years paleohydrological record from Lake Titicaca DENIS WIRRMANN, JEAN-PIERRE YBERT and PHILIPPE MOURGUIART The Bolivian Altiplano is an endorheic basin which extends from 16° to 20° S. Lat. and from 65° to 69°W. Long., with altitudes ranging from 3700 to 4600 metres, covering 200,000 km2 between the Western and Eastern Cordilleras which are 6500 m high (Fig. 1). From north to south, three major lacustrine areas occupy this high plateau: 2 - Lake Titicaca at 3809 metres above sea level, covering 8562 km ; 2 - Lake Poopo at 3686 m.a.s.l. covering 2530 km ; - Coipasa-Uyuni, a group of dry salt lakes, covering 11 ,000 km2 at 3653 m.a.s.l. Over the last 1.8 million years these basins have registered episodes of greatly enlarged lake areas. According to Lavenu et al. (1984) and to Servant and Fontes (1978, 1984), the Pleistocene record of Titicaca lake level fluctu­ ations can be summarised as follows: - during the Early Pleistocene the paleolake Mataro rose with a water level established at 140 metres above the present level. This stage is related to the end of the Calvario glaciation (Servant, 1977) and the corresponding deposits are recognisable mainly at the NW edge of the basin; - the paleolake Cabana occurred during the middle Pleistocene with a water level established at 90 metres above the present Lake Titicaca level: the associated sediments are present on the eastern and western shores of the basin; - then with the retreat of the Sorata glaciation (Servant, 1977) the Ballivian stage occurred with
