Tsukuba research institutes' landside experiment

TSUKUBA, Japan - The National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, northeast of Tokyo, conducts an experiment on Aug. 22, 2014, using heavy artificial rain to examine how a landslide occurs. The upper and lower photos show a slope before and after the rain, respectively. The experiment was carried out following massive mudslides in the city of Hiroshima. (Kyodo)

    (240626) -- NY-ALESUND, June 26, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Hu Zhengyi, a member of the Chinese Arctic expedition team, points to one of the photos of Chinese Arctic expedition teams at the Yellow River Station in Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, Norway, June 23, 2024. Situated at 79 degrees north latitude in the northwestern region of Spitsbergen, the largest island in Norway's Arctic Svalbard archipelago, Ny-Alesund is the world's northernmost permanent settlement. Once a thriving coal mining town, Ny-Alesund now buzzes with the activities of polar researchers. Since the Yellow River Station's inception in 2004, China has established a significant presence in this scientific sanctuary, carrying out a range of observations and investigations in glaciology, terrestrial ecology, marine ecology, space physics, and other fields. By the end of 2023, the Yellow River Station had supported more than 250 scientific research projects and hosted over 660 researchers. As China's first Arctic research station, it has witnessed not o

      (240519) --BEIJING, May 19, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Zhao Bi works on dinosaur egg fossils at Hubei Qinglong Mountain Dinosaur Egg Fossil Site Museum in Shiyan City, central China's Hubei Province, May 16, 2024. The Museum is dedicated to in-situ protection and display of dinosaur egg fossils. The fossil site covers more than 7,000 square meters, with 3,204 dinosaur egg fossils restored, protected, and displayed in their original positions. Back in 2020, the Hubei Qinglong Mountain Dinosaur Egg Fossil Group National Nature Reserve, the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Hubei Institute of Geosciences formed a joint research team to uncover more information about the dinosaur egg fossils.

        (240518) -- SHIYAN, May 18, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Zhao Bi takes photos of a dinosaur egg fossil with his mobile phone at Hubei Qinglong Mountain Dinosaur Egg Fossil Site Museum in Shiyan City, central China's Hubei Province, May 16, 2024. With precision tools in hands, Zhao Bi, a researcher with the Hubei Institute of Geosciences, leans over a nest of dinosaur egg fossils, and intently removes undesired substance attached to their surfaces. This has been the daily routine for Zhao and other dinosaur egg fossil restorers at Hubei Qinglong Mountain Dinosaur Egg Fossil Site Museum in Shiyan City. The Museum is dedicated to in-situ protection and display of dinosaur egg fossils. The fossil site covers more than 7,000 square meters, with 3,204 dinosaur egg fossils restored, protected, and displayed in their original positions.

          (240514) -- DONGCHUAN, May 14, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Researchers Song Dongri (R), Zhong Wei (L) and Wei Li investigate and evaluate the condition of a sand-retaining dam in Dongchuan District of Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province, May 8, 2024. The Jiangjiagou ravine, located in the Xiaojiang River Basin, was a frequent landslide occurring area. In 1961, an observation and research station of debris flows, known as Dongchuan Station, was established in Jiangjiagou area. Since then, several generations of researchers have observed and studied debris flows, and established a comprehensive disaster reduction model of "stabilizing, blocking and draining", which has laid the foundation of debris flow science in China. A large-scale dynamic simulation experiment platform for mountain disaster was recently put into use in Dongchuan Station. The completion of this scientific device will reveal the natural law of debris flow outbreak, tackle the problems on prevention and control, and reduce the harm on human.
