Excess²¹⁰Pb dating is not only an important method for sediment dating, but also a major environmental tracer. In aridregions, excess²¹⁰Pb deposited in lake sediment mainly depends on wind erosion recycle besides the atmospheric precipitation fluxbackground. Therefore, the higher excess²¹⁰Pb is a potential for identifying the aeolian activities. This paper makes a systematicalanalysis on the data published in recent years, and calculates the multi-year average excess²¹⁰Pb flux in different lakes. Thus, the areasin which multi-year average excess²¹⁰Pb flux that exceeded atmosphere flux background could be recognized preliminarily as regionalaeolian deposits. And then, we use the excess²¹⁰Pb model (PF-CRS) to calculate the lake sedimentation rates in some typical aeolianregions. At last, we compare the results with the dust records correspondingly so as to estimate the reliability of this method.
