(240626) -- NY-ALESUND, June 26, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Members of the Chinese Arctic expedition team Hu Zhengyi (L), Zhao Hongying (R) and Wu Xiaohan check the equipment in Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, Norway, June 22, 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 only the development o

    (240731) -- WUHAN, July 31, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- An aerial drone photo shows researchers working at the Zadoi section of Zhaqu River in northwest China's Qinghai Province, July 21, 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.
