Abstract

Abstract: By using stable isopote analysis method, we research the stable isotope background values of samples of Taklimakan Desert, Qaidam Basin Desert, Kumtagh Desert, Tengger Desert, Ulan Buh Desert, Mu Us Sandy Land which are the major dust storm source regions in China. The results show that the δ values of ¹⁸O and ³⁰Si of 22 samples range at 9.6-14.8 and -1.7-0.3, respectively. The δ value of ¹⁸O from is the maximum in the Kumtagh Desert, and it is the minimum in the Qaidam Basin Desert. The δ value of ³⁰Si value is maximum in the Mu Us Sandy Land, and is minimum in the Qaidam Basin Desert. Overall, the variation coefficients of δ value of ³⁰Si are greater than the variation coefficient of δ values of ¹⁸O. So, ³⁰Si is more suitable for dust storm source research. Furthermore, the adjacent deserts showed a similar trend of ³⁰Si. Therefore, it is inferred that the sediments of adjacent deserts may come from the same area.

Key words: dust storm, stable isotope, trace ability, background value
