(220727) -- YUSHU, July 27, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Zhang Guoyue (L) and Fan Yadong, members of a scientific expedition team, collect insect samples from a source of the Yangtze River in northwest China's Qinghai Province, July 26, 2022. Chinese scientists launched an expedition on Sunday in the headwater regions of the Yangtze and Lancang rivers in northwest China's Qinghai Province, to investigate the regions' water resources and ecological environment. Zhang Guoyue and Fan Yadong are two female members of the scientific expedition team. To fulfill their duties as "insect catchers" for the sake of biodiversity survey, Zhang and Fan have to work day and night in the headwater regions of the Yangtze and Lancang rivers, regardless of fatigue from long hours of work, coldness at night, and thin air on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The expedition will conduct scientific investigations into the water resources, river hydrology, water ecology, glaciers, soil erosion and permafrost of the regions, among other things, accor

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.
