ChineseToday | Chinese expedition team braves river headwaters

(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.
