The d87Sr values of tufas deposited during the  last lake cycle were used to determine when Humboldt derived Sr entered  the Pyramid Lake subbasin. Prior to ~15,000 yr B.P., the Humboldt River  flowed to the Smoke Creek-Black Rock Desert subbasin. During the  recession of Lake Lahontan, the Humboldt River diverted to the  Carson Desert subbasin. This study has demonstrated that 87Sr can be  used to determine drainage histories of multi-basin lake systems if  the d87Sr values of rivers that discharge to the basins are  sufficiently different.","author":null,"citation":"Benson, L.V., Z.
