Investigation of dynamic lake changes in Zhuonai Lake–Salt Lake Basin, Hoh Xil, using remote sensing images in response to climate change (1989–2018)

The area covered by the four lakes in the Zhuonai Lake–Salt Lake Basin in Hoh Xil (Zhuonai Lake, Kusai Lake, Heidinor Lake, and Salt Lake) has changed significantly over the past 30 years. In this study, remote sensing image data gathered via the Landsat thematic mapper, enhanced thematic mapper plu...
