CHINA-QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU-NEW SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION (CN)

(220430) -- LHASA, April 30, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Scientific research members prepare a balloon carrying radiosonde for release at the Mount Qomolangma base camp on April 30, 2022. China has started a new comprehensive scientific expedition on Mount Qomolangma, the world's highest peak on the China-Nepal border. The expedition is part of China's second scientific research survey on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which started in 2017. More than 270 scientific research members from 16 squads are participating in the expedition, according to the second Qinghai-Tibet Plateau comprehensive scientific research team on Thursday.

    (240731) -- WUHAN, July 31, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- An aerial drone photo shows researchers climbing the Dongkemadi glacier in northwest China's Qinghai Province, July 25, 2024. Since July 20, a Chinese expedition team has been conducting research on the water resources and ecological environment in the headwater regions of the Yangtze and Lancang rivers. The expedition, comprising around 20 members, carried out scientific investigations into river hydrology, water ecology, soil erosion, glaciers and permafrost in Qinghai Province. Key research projects include estimating the carbon stock of wetlands, assessing the impacts of permafrost thawing on the plateau, and measuring the thickness of permafrost on glaciers. Qinghai is home to the Sanjiangyuan area, which contains the headwaters of China's three major rivers: the Yangtze River, the longest in China; the Yellow River, the second-longest; and the Lancang River, which is known as the Mekong River after it flows out of China.
