Abstract：On the Tibetan Plateau, winter and spring are characterized by low temperatures and frequent sand and dust storms, which often lead to the deposition of aeolian sediments on the ice surfaces of frozen lakes. Due to the complex lakeshore environment, the spatial distribution of aeolian sediments on the ice surface exhibits pronounced heterogeneity. To investigate the spatial distribution and migration patterns of aeolian sediments on the ice surface and to analyze the influencing factors, Qinghai Lake was selected as the study area. Based on Sentinel-2 imagery from December 2022 to April 2023, combined with the New Water Index (NWI) and the Normalized Difference Sandy Land Index (NDSLI), aeolian sediments on the ice surface were identified and extracted. The results indicate that aeolian sediments on the ice surface of Qinghai Lake are mainly distributed on the ice surfaces of Gahai Lake and Shadao Lake-Haiyan Bay in the eastern part of Qinghai Lake; the ice surface at the mouth of the Buha River and Heima River in the west, as well as the ice surface east of the Erlangjian Spit in the south. During the ice-covered period, the area covered by sediment increased continuously, from 7.32 km² (approximately 0.16% of the total lake area) in the early deposition stage to 91.75 km² (approximately 2.00%) in the later stage. Combined with sand-driving wind data, the results show that during the ice-covered period dominated by northwesterly winds, nearshore sediment sources continuously supply sand and dust to the downwind ice surface. This suggests that the spatial distribution of aeolian sediments on the ice surface of Qinghai Lake is closely linked to the upwind lakeshore environment. During transport, aeolian sediments mix with accumulated snow under wind action, forming mixed niveo-aeolian deposits, which further increases the difficulty of identification using current remote sensing techniques.
