Based in China's Arctic Yellow River Station, Chinese scientists research on two glaciers in Ny-Alesund of Norway's Arctic Svalbard archipelago to reveal the rate of glacier retreat around the Yellow River Station and its response to global warming, providing an important basis for predicting sea level rise and the impact of climate patterns in the future.

    (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.
