This volume deals with many aspects of the physical and chemical limnology of the Salton Sea. Formed in 1905, this is California's largest lake and an important wildlife habitat. The lake may soon be subject to a multi-billion dollar restoration project.

The Vth International Symposium on Inland Saline Lakes was held at Hotel Titikaka on the shores of that lake, 22--29 March 1991 with participants from 16 countries. Twenty-three papers presented by the participants, plus an additional one reporting a microcosm study on salinity effects, constitute the present volume. The papers cover the wide array of subject matters and scales characteristic of our `interdiscipline' and represent the symposium well. All manuscripts submitted for these proceedings were critically reviewed by at least three referees and are representative of saline lake research, developed around the world in the three-year period since the last symposium

On a worldwide scale, concern for our environment has understandably gained high priority in many current political and social agendas [.]
