The environment of the Third Pole is now a hot topic worldwide
The recent announcement of the 2015
Research Frontiers by Thomson
Reuters indicates that The relationship
among glacier, water resources and
climatic changes on the Third pole is a
leading frontier of earth science. The
top 20 papers were cited 1651 times,
and the 4 distinguished papers were
cited more than 1200 times

Lack of ground observation in Tibetan Plateau (quote from Soroosh PERSIANN-CDR )
Gauge data: daily precipitation over East Asia (EA) (Xie et al., 2007)
– More than 2200 ground-based stations across China
– 0.5˚ resolution
– Period 1983-2006 PERSIANN-CDR: up scaled into the same resolution as EA (0.5o)
~2 gages per 10,000 km2
~1 gages per 25,000 km2

TPEEducation and Training
• To train young talents from the Third Pole region, including China, India, Nepal, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar
• To help build multi-nation teams for long-term cross-
border scientific expeditions and observation
• To estanblish unified scientific concept within these teams via science and technology transfer
2016Nepal
2015Kunming
TPE organizes joint scientific expeditions through cooperation with neighbor countries as Nepal, Tajikistan, Pakistan, India and China, to promote joint observation and research.
