应用数学地质中常用的点群（聚类）分析方法研究了柴达木盆地盐湖的地球化学分类，并与其它学者盐湖水化学分类法进行了对比研究，探讨了二者之间的共同点与差异，并且对新的分类中各类元素的地球化学特征进行了总结

Study of geochemical classification of the Salt Lake in the Qaidam Basin applying cluster analysis

Geochemical classification of the salt lakes in China are devided into three groups according to former Soviet Union's scientist. here are the salt lakes in the Qaidam Basin of the Northwestern China are classified into four groups on the basis of the results of cluster analysis of chemical elements. The differences and consistences of two methods of classification are discussed in this paper and geochemical characteristics of the various kinds of the salt lakes in the new method of classification were summarized by the average contents and coefficient of variance.
