Fluid inclusions in uranium series-dated calcitic veins from the southern Great Basin record a reduction of 40 per mil in the deuterium content of ground-water recharge during the Pleistocene. This variation is tentatively attributed to major uplift of the Sierra Nevada Range and the Transverse Ranges during this epoch with attendant increasing orographic depletion of deuterium from inland-bound Pacific storms.
来自大盆地南部铀系测年方解石脉中的流体包裹体记录了更新世期间地下水补给中氘含量降低了千分之40。这种变化初步归因于该时期内华达山脉和横向山脉的大幅隆升，以及随之而来的来自向内陆移动的太平洋风暴中氘的地形降水损耗增加。
