Data of the paper Uranium isotopic composition and constraints on the provenance of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau’s surface dust.docx

This work is the first to measure the 234U
and 238U isotopic composition of surface dust particles in the
cryospheric regions of the Tibetan Plateau and to use the uranium comminution
age method to reveal the spatial distribution and variation of the (234U/238U)
values and the evolution processes of Tibetan Plateau
dust. In addition, we use the U isotopic composition of dust from several
snowpack and cryoconite samples from glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau
to constrain Tibetan Plateau dust transport
distances and major sink areas. Together, the research provides new insights
and understanding of Tibetan Plateau dust emissions and
transport, regional tectonics, and landscape dynamics as well as the
potential climate and environmental implications
