TIBET NEPAL BHUTAN INDIA INDIA MYANMAR BANGLADESH PACIFIC (BURMA) OCEAN 4 WEEKS Northern Tour Běijīng is fundamental to this tour, so you’ll need at least five days to do the Forbidden City, size yourself up against the Great Wall, wander like royalty around the Summer Pal- ace and lose your bearings within the city’s hútòng (narrow alleyways). The splendour of the Yúngāng Caves outside Dàtóng should put you in a Buddhist mood, sharpened by a few nights on monastic Wǔtái Shān. We recommend a three-day stopover in Píngyáo, an age-old walled town you imagined China should look like. The historic walled city of Kāifēng in Hénán was the traditional home of China’s small community of Chinese Jews and has some remarkable night markets; move on to Luòyáng and the Buddhist spectacle of the Lóngmén Caves and the Shàolín Temple, also within reach. Four days’ sightseeing in Xī’ān brings you face-to-face with the Army of Terracotta Warriors and gives you time for the Taoist mountain of Huà Shān. Xī’ān traditionally marked the start of the Silk Road which you can follow through Gānsù province all the way to the oasis-town of Dūnhuáng, and beyond. 38 PLAN YOUR TRIP Nánjīng É Shànghǎi •# •# Three Gorges É •# •# Wǔhàn •#Huángshān Yíchāng •# •# É Dàzú •# Jīngzhōu •# IT •# Yíbīn •# Chóngqìng Lúshān I Tiger •# Sōngji NERAR •# Leaping É Gorge Chìshuǐ •# Xīchāng •# •# Lúgū Hú I Lìjiāng TAIWAN ES •# •#•#Shùhé Shāxī PACIFIC MYANMAR OCEAN (BURMA) VIETNAM 4 WEEKS Yangzi River Tour After exploring north Yúnnán’s ancient Naxi town of Lìjiāng, pick up the trail of the Jīnshā River (Gold Sand River, which spills down from Tibet and swells into the Yangzi.

  • Thousands of Feet on the Ground Are a Challenge in Changbai Mountain, China by Leah Eskelin
    Refuge Notebook • Vol. 16, No. 41 • October 24, 2014 Thousands of feet on the ground are a challenge in Changbai Mountain, China by Leah Eskelin tional Nature Reserve, with a focus on wildland fire management and visitor services in protected areas. Changbai Mountain straddles the China-North Korea border and has been held in almost sacred es- teem by both nations for centuries. It is this adula- tion that has protected the landscape from develop- ment over the years, until it became officially pro- tected within a 200,000 hectare reserve in 1960. How- ever, now, with a growing middle class and increas- ingly easy tourist travel to the region (the Changbais- han airport opened in 2008), human pressures on the area’s natural resources are mounting. Illegal hunting, plant and mushroom gathering, and the simple recre- ational activities of law-abiding visitors are all taking their toll on the land. Lake Tianchi, the awe-inspiring crater lake atop Mount Baekdu, can be viewed from two vantage points. We visited the North Approach on a Saturday, along with 10,000 other visitors. The experience is in- tense. First, in a vehicle driven by Changbai Moun- tain staff, you travel up the mountain from the forest of yew, Korean pine and birch at the base through 30 hairpin turns onto the tundra, and finally to the sum- mit of gray rock. At an elevation of 6,257 feet, there The North Approach to Lake Tianchi sees over 10,000 vis- is a chill to the air that solicits rental parkas in the itors on weekend days (credit: Matt Conner/USFWS).

Abstract: Changbaishan volcano (China/North Korea; last eruption in 1903 AD) was responsible for a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) 7 eruption in 946 AD. Approximately 186,000 people live around Changbaishan and 2,000,000 tourists/year visit the volcano. An unrest occurred between 2002 and 2006. Despite the relevant hazard, the eruptive history is poorly known, a condition common to many volcanoes worldwide. Here, we investigate the extension of the areas potentially affected by pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) in case of future eruptions following a scenario-based approach.

  • Distinguishing Between Anthropogenic and Climatic Impacts on Lake Size: a Modeling Approach Using Data from Ebinur Lake in Arid Northwest China
    J. Limnol., 2014; 73(2): 350-357 ORIGINAL ARTICLE DOI: 10.4081/jlimnol.2014.852 Distinguishing between anthropogenic and climatic impacts on lake size: a modeling approach using data from Ebinur Lake in arid northwest China Long MA,1 Jinglu WU,2* Wen LIU,2 Jilili ABUDUWAILI1 1State Key Laboratory of Desert and Oasis Ecology, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi 830011, China; 2State Key Laboratory of Lake Science and Environment, Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Evaluation of anthropogenic and climatic impacts on lake size variation is important for maintaining ecosystem integrity and sus- taining societal development. We assumed that climate and human activity are the only drivers of lake-size variation and are independent of each other. We then evaluated anthropogenic and climatic effects on hydrological processes, using a multivariate linear model. Macro-economic data were used to describe the anthropogenic impact on lake surface area in our approach. Ebinur Lake is a shallow, closed, saline lake in arid northwest China; it has shrunk at a rapid rate over the past half century. Using our new method, we explored temporal trends of anthropogenic and climatic impacts on the lake over the past 50 years. Assessment indices indicate that the model represents observed data quite well. Compared with the reference period of 1955-1960, impacts of climate change across the catchment were generally positive with respect to lake area, except for the period from 1961 to 1970. Human activity was responsible for a reduction in lake surface area of 286.8 km2 over the last 50 years.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Lake dynamics in Central Asia in the past 30 years A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Geography by Shengan Zhan 2020 © Copyright by Shengan Zhan 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Lake dynamics in Central Asia in the past 30 years by Shengan Zhan Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Dennis P. Lettenmaier, Co-Chair Professor Yongwei Sheng, Co-Chair Water is a key resource in arid Central Asia (CA) and is heavily affected by climate change and human activities. Temperature across the region has increased drastically especially in the mountain region while precipitation change is less homogeneous. The increased temperature has caused increased melting of glacier and snow which has a large contribution to the runoff in rivers. Human activities such as agriculture irrigation and reservoir management also affect water availability. In the Soviet era, agriculture in CA expanded continuously and large amount of water was extracted from rivers for irrigation. This has caused the catastrophic decline of the Aral Sea. In the post-Soviet era, countries in CA have reorganized their agriculture structure to be self- sufficient. It is important to understand how these changes affect water availability in CA especially under climate change. This dissertation uses lakes as proxy indicators of water ii availability and assesses how climate and human activities have affected lakes in CA. Seventeen lakes located in three former Soviet republics and western China from seven basins are examined using remote sensing and hydrologic modeling to estimate their changes in area, water level and volume.
