Useful links and resources

In the last decade many publishing houses have made research publications databases available electronically, and these may be searched from within the publishing houses’ web sites, or through search engines such as Google Scholar. This has made the continued development of the saline lakes bibliography redundant.

An example of a Google Scholar search, set broadly for “saline lakes” is provided below, along with a link to the Saline Lakes category of Wikipedia, a link to the Facebook page “Conservation and Management of Salt Lakes” and a link to a fledgling Wikibook on salt lake research methods.

Please consider contributing to these interactive information sharing sites, in order to progress a wider understanding of salt lake ecosystems worldwide.


Conservation and Management of Salt LakesFacebook page providing a forum for members of the International Society for Salt Lake Research, the Inland Saline Lake Working Group of the International Society for Limnology (SIL), and other individuals interested in the scientific management and conservation of salt lakes.


Google Scholar search on “saline lakes”. Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.
