Using strontium isotopes to trace dust from a drying Great Salt Lake to adjacent urban areas and mountain snowpack

Using strontium isotopes to trace dust from a drying Great Salt Lake to adjacent urban areas and mountain snowpack

With the desiccation of saline lakes around the globe, it is increasingly important to quantify the impacts of playa dust on downwind urban areas and mountain snowpack. In this study, we used ^87 Sr/ ^86 Sr ratios of carbonate minerals to trace dust from playas to urban areas and mountain snowpack....
