A Novel Tracer Technique to Quantify the Lithogenic Input Flux of Trace Elements to Qinghai Lake

Thorium (Th) isotopes were applied to quantify the contributions of lithogenic inputs to the Qinghai Lake (QHH). Concentrations of dissolved 232Th and 230Th were measured in 59 water samples collected from Qinghai Lake and its exogenous recharge rivers. There are significant differences in the conce...
