ABSTRACT The eastern extension of the Mediterranean‐Himalayan geothermal belt contains numerous springs with anomalously high lithium (Li) content. These have long discharged substantial Li resources to surface, underscoring their potential as a Li‐rich geological feature significant interest. This study utilises field investigations typical high‐temperature, in this region, along isotope tracing, hydrogeochemical analysis, and simulation, elucidate mechanisms behind anomalous enrichment...
The Nalenggele River Catchment (NRC) is the largest river sourced from northern slope of Eastern Kunlun Mountains (EKM). NRC terminates in Qaidam Basin and feeds tail salt lakes. river–groundwater system (freshwater) terminal lakes display high concentrations B Li, ranking as a world–class mineral system. However, source, pathway, enrichment mechanism these elements remain unclear. In this study, Li isotopes rivers groundwater mountain to basin were used trace their origin evolution...
Abstract The large-scale salt lakes widely distributed in the Tibetan Plateau provide unique and potential resources for lithium (Li) boron (B). concentration characteristics of elements these resemble those found geothermal water northern Tibet, which highlights both as crucial sources rare elements. This study presents comprehensive analyses hydrochemical composition isotopes B, strontium (Sr), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) typical lakes, along with samples from surrounding springs rivers...
Lithium (Li), a crucial mineral resource for modern high-tech industries, is notably abundant in the northern Tibetan Plateau, primarily within lithium-rich salt lakes. However, exploration and development of these resources are hindered due to an incomplete understanding their nature origin. Here we present results from comprehensive study on hydrochemical parameters, whole-rock geochemistry, H-O isotopes, Li concentrations surface brine, river water, geothermal springs, associated rocks...
Abstract. Climate change accelerates the global water cycle. However, relationships between climate and hydrological processes in alpine arid regions remain elusive. We sampled surface groundwater at high spatial temporal resolutions to investigate these Qaidam Basin, an extremely area northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Stable H–O isotopes radioactive 3H were combined with atmospheric simulations examine their response mechanisms change. Contemporary dominate variations of isotopes, specifically...
Abstract Arid basins in the alpine‐cold area have their unique environmental settings and special groundwater circulation system. Sources, components variation of recharge processes for most rivers seasonal scale are still unknown response to climate warming. Stable H O isotopes were sampled monthly river water groundwater, table fluctuations monitored over a complete cycle from dry wet season conditions Nalenggele River catchment western Qaidam Basin, China.

Abstract. Climate warming accelerates the global water cycle. However, relationships between climate and hydrological processes in alpine arid regions remain unclear. Herein, high spatiotemporal resolution sampling of surface groundwater was performed at Qaidam Basin, an extremely area northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Stable H-O isotopes radioactive 3H were combined with atmospheric simulations to examine change hydrogeological characteristics. The heavy enrich during wet season deplete dry...
Abstract In cold alpine regions, ecohydrological feedback to climatic anomalies can provide valuable insights into ecosystem functions in the context of alarming climate change projections. However, role vegetation hydrological cycle wetlands remains unclear. We used water stable isotopes (δ 18 O and δD) supplemented with δ 13 C investigate wetland soil isotope distributions plant uptake patterns. The values profiles were affected by seasonal factors. During dry periods, within profile...
The Yarlungzangbo River is the largest river system draining northern slopes of Himalayan ranges on southern Tibetan Plateau and has a crucial role in supply water downstream. We investigated chemical composition its major tributaries (the Nianchu Lhasa rivers). Water samples ( n = 165) were collected analysed for ions trace elements. Multivariable analyses showed that geology climate are explanatory variables spatiotemporal variations chemistry this system. mainly controlled by carbonate...
