The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a pure land for mankind, is the highest region in the world. Standing here, you can see the rolling mountains, large areas of exposed rock and soil, and the storms that never stop above the snow line. It is sparsely populated, but it covers the atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere and other earth spheres from top to bottom, and is an important sample for studying geographical environment changes. The first time he went to Tibet and met the glaciers <br /> Zhang Qianggong's job is to conduct plateau glacier research on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. He entered the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and met the glaciers in 2005. During his more than ten years of scientific research, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is full of his memories and stories. Zhang Qianggong takes a photo with local residents For scientific researchers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the thin air and low oxygen content will make their heartbeats speed up involuntarily, and they will perceive all sounds and things more intensely and sensitively. Climb to the top and feel the pulse of the earth <br /> Glaciers are the product of climate, recording the breath and pulse of the planet. On the one hand, the appearance of glaciers moves with the changes in climate. When the climate becomes warmer and drier, the glaciers will retreat accordingly. If the climate becomes wetter and colder, the glaciers will slowly advance. Zhang Qianggong is investigating the iceberg and ice lake In addition to the complex terrain, the plateau glaciers also face the cold and lack of oxygen. This makes actions that are easy to do on the plains very difficult on the plateau. They need to climb step by step towards the selected ice core drilling point in the snow. They have been busy from morning to evening, and when they thought they could call it a day, the instructor stumbled and rolled down the glacier, excitedly telling them that they had found another way and moved the equipment up a little further. Continuous breakthroughs to explore the unknown truth <br /> Since the 1950s, China has conducted many scientific surveys on the glaciers of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and has made continuous breakthroughs over the past 60 years. Compared with the previous goal of climbing and measuring height, today's scientific expeditions to Tibet focus on scientific breakthroughs and unknown exploration. The scientific expedition team set up an automatic weather station at an altitude of more than 8,800 meters on Mount Everest Which came first, water or ice? How is the composition of the ice cap on Mars different from that on Earth? Zhang Qianggong raised these questions passionately. He said that after crossing this peak, you will face more majestic mountains, and you will find more fun in the farther, more majestic and higher mountains.
