Zhu Liping, deputy director of the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research of the CAS, said as of 2017, the second comprehensive scientific expedition has collected the information of depth and water quality of lakes covering about 28,000 square km.

Recently, researchers are investigating the underwater terrain of lakes covering over 50 square km each to learn the comprehensive condition of the water volume of the lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau so as to lay a foundation for the further research on the interrelation of lakes and the climate, said Zhu.
