(230707) -- LIJIANG, July 7, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Wang Shijin (1st R) works with his teammates on the Baishui River No. 1 Glacier on the Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang City, southwest China's Yunnan Province, June 16, 2023. Yulong Snow Mountain Cryosphere and Sustainable Development Field Science Observation and Research Station, set up by Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of Chinese Academy of Sciences, is located in Lijiang City in southwest China's Yunnan Province. Since 2006, researchers have regularly monitored the condition of the Baishui River No. 1 Glacier and its surrounding environment on the snow mountain. According to Wang Shijin, a glaciologist and head of the station, part of the meltwater of the Yulong Snow Mountain flows to Lijiang ancient city, then flows into the Jinsha River from Heqing County in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. And the meltwater of Baishui River No. 1 Glacier merges into the Lanyue (Blue Moon) Valley in Lijiang, then flows into the Jinsha River near the T

    (230803) -- URUMQI, Aug. 3, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on June 12, 2023 shows Merdan Keyum checking the sand condition of plants at the natural experimental fields of the Qira station under the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Merdan Keyum was born in 1987 in what is today Gaochang District of the city of Turpan. Located only dozens of kilometers from the Kumtag Desert, the city is frequently plagued by sandstorms that often cause power outages and halt farmwork in springtime. He is now based in the Qira station under the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, located in Qira County, on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, China's largest desert, also known as the "Sea of Death." The Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography established its Qira station in 1983 to tackle sandstorms and fight desertification. Scientists have since started to use science and technology for sa

          (230717) -- ZHONGXIAN, July 17, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Researchers of the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment under Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) assess water-stable soil aggregate at a research station in Zhongxian County, southwest China's Chongqing, July 5, 2023. The Three Gorges Reservoir region, home to the world's largest hydropower project, covers about 10,000 square km along the Yangtze River, China's longest waterway. The seasonal gaps in the reservoir's water levels have resulted in a water-level fluctuation zone covering 349 square kilometers along the Yangtze River. The zone suffers environmental problems, including soil erosion and pollution. Researchers of the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment under CAS have, since 2007, conducted a raft of studies on soil erosion, non-point source pollution, and ecological restoration of the water-level fluctuation zone in the reservoir area. In recent years, the ecological environment of the reservoir area has improved and the soil
