Tibetan plateau fieldwork 2007 (by jakobh)From mid August to the end of September 2007 I was roaming around on the NE Tibetan plateau looking for evidence (and the lack of evidence) of former ice cover. These are some photos from the trip. The main result so far of the fieldwork (+ the fieldworks of previous years) is that the ice cover has been big but not very big: MEIO HUANG HE BING GAI
