Lake Qinghai, the largest saline lake in China, is a closed-basin lake with a salinity of 16 g/L and is situated in the sensitive semi-arid zone between the Asian monsoon-controlled area and the westerly jet stream-influenced area. With the support of the International Continental Drilling Program (...
