On May 26 and 27, a group of S&T workers with the CAS Institute for Tibet Plateau Research finished their second peripheral survey of the salt-lake Nam Co.
The surveying activities include sampling of the lake water specimens, floral distribution, and the collection of data recorded by the automatic outposts of meteorology on the lake side since last October. In the same time, the investigators sampled some snow pits on the Qugaqie glacier and established the first hydrological station at its lower reaches.
Through braving the hostile elements and car breakdown, the surveyors succeeded in collecting more than 100 samples of water specimen and dozens of floral specimens. Their work is conducive to deepening our understanding of the natural conditions around the lake.
