“…To understand and predict the content of valuable minerals in salt lakes, geological and geochemical studies are required. Song et al (2023) present study on geological and chemical processes in saline lakes. They measured Li-B concentrations and H-O-Sr-B isotopic compositions of different waters (river, spring, and brine) from the Qarhan Salt Lake (QSL) in western China, combined with the reported K-Sr contents and multiple isotopes of waters to discuss the recharge, source of K-Sr-Li-B and their spatial distributions, by analogy with other evaporite basins in the world.…”

Saline lakes are widespread on all continents. Since 1979, an informal international association of salt lake researchers from a variety of disciplines has sponsored a series of triennial conferences to foster scientific exchange and our understanding of saline lakes. International Society for Salt Lake Research (ISSLR, www.isslr.org) was founded in 1994 to establish effective liaison between persons interested in any aspect of inland saline waters, to encourage these interests, and to educate the public in the scientific use, management, and conservation of salt lakes. ISSLR conferences are held triennially. The conferences are usually hosted by a local University or research institution and provide an excellent opportunity for networking among globally dispersed researchers.The 14 th International Conference on Salt Lake Research was held online during October 18-22, 2021 and hosted in Murcia, Spain. The conference was organized by the ISSLR together with the Institute of Saltscapes and Salt Heritage (IPAISAL), an Non-Governmental Organization devoted to the research and dissemination of the natural, cultural, and human values of saltscapes based in Spain. The conference was initially planned to be held in the autumn of 2020, but the travel restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic advised to postpone it * Egor ZADEREEV was financially supported by the State Assignment of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (No.

Mahai Basin (MH), situated in the northern Qaidam Basin (QB), occurred abundant K-rich brine resources. The study on origin of deep K-rich confined brine and variation in K-Mg elements correspond to evolution in MH light on the significance of the sustainable development and utilization of brine deposits. This study presents multiple isotopes (δ18O and δD, 87Sr/86Sr) and hydrochemical characteristics for river waters, surface brines, intercrystalline brines, confined brines, gravel-type brines and anticlinal brines in the MH. The results indicate that: (1) Compared with anticlinal brine, confined brine is characterized by high K, low Ca and Sr contents, and close to the supply path of water chemistry in Yuqia River (from Na-HCO3-SO4 field to Cl-SO4 field in Ca-SO4-HCO3 equivalent diagram), deciphering river water is the main water source for confined brine. (2) The δ18O-δD values of confine brine are spatially various in MH and fall on the right side of the local evaporation line in this study, which implies that confined brine underwent evaporation and concentration successively. (3) The 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7114298–0.7114522) of confined brine is between river water and Lenghu anticlinal water, and both river water and confine brine dominate in low Sr field, further verified that more recharge budget of river water. (4) Combining with the evolution of sedimentary facies (Dezongmahai lake area as an example), K and Mg concentrations in MH increased progressively from west to east and from south to north, demonstrating the enrichment of K and Mg aligns to the evolution of MH and northeastern part of this basin serving as the final depositional center.
