  • The Lhasa Jokhang – Is the World's Oldest Timber Frame Building in Tibet? André Alexander*
    The Lhasa Jokhang – is the world's oldest timber frame building in Tibet? * André Alexander Abstract In questo articolo sono presentati i risultati di un’indagine condotta sul più antico tempio buddista del Tibet, il Lhasa Jokhang, fondato nel 639 (circa). L’edificio, nonostante l’iscrizione nella World Heritage List dell’UNESCO, ha subito diversi abusi a causa dei rifacimenti urbanistici degli ultimi anni. The Buddhist temple known to the Tibetans today as Lhasa Tsuklakhang, to the Chinese as Dajiao-si and to the English-speaking world as the Lhasa Jokhang, represents a key element in Tibetan history. Its foundation falls in the dynamic period of the first half of the seventh century AD that saw the consolidation of the Tibetan empire and the earliest documented formation of Tibetan culture and society, as expressed through the introduction of Buddhism, the creation of written script based on Indian scripts and the establishment of a law code. In the Tibetan cultural and religious tradition, the Jokhang temple's importance has been continuously celebrated soon after its foundation. The temple also gave name and raison d'etre to the city of Lhasa (“place of the Gods") The paper attempts to show that the seventh century core of the Lhasa Jokhang has survived virtually unaltered for 13 centuries. Furthermore, this core building assumes highly significant importance for the fact that it represents authentic pan-Indian temple construction technologies that have survived in Indian cultural regions only as archaeological remains or rock-carved copies. 1. Introduction – context of the archaeological research The research presented in this paper has been made possible under a cooperation between the Lhasa City Cultural Relics Bureau and the German NGO, Tibet Heritage Fund (THF).

  • An Annotated List of Birds Wintering in the Lhasa River Watershed and Yamzho Yumco, Tibet Autonomous Region, China
    FORKTAIL 23 (2007): 1–11 An annotated list of birds wintering in the Lhasa river watershed and Yamzho Yumco, Tibet Autonomous Region, China AARON LANG, MARY ANNE BISHOP and ALEC LE SUEUR The occurrence and distribution of birds in the Lhasa river watershed of Tibet Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China, is not well documented. Here we report on recent observations of birds made during the winter season (November–March). Combining these observations with earlier records shows that at least 115 species occur in the Lhasa river watershed and adjacent Yamzho Yumco lake during the winter. Of these, at least 88 species appear to occur regularly and 29 species are represented by only a few observations. We recorded 18 species not previously noted during winter. Three species noted from Lhasa in the 1940s, Northern Shoveler Anas clypeata, Solitary Snipe Gallinago solitaria and Red-rumped Swallow Hirundo daurica, were not observed during our study. Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis (Vulnerable) and Bar-headed Goose Anser indicus are among the more visible species in the agricultural habitats which dominate the valley floors. There is still a great deal to be learned about the winter birds of the region, as evidenced by the number of apparently new records from the last 15 years. INTRODUCTION limited from the late 1940s to the early 1980s. By the late 1980s the first joint ventures with foreign companies were The Lhasa river watershed in Tibet Autonomous Region, initiated and some of the first foreign non-governmental People’s Republic of China, is an important wintering organisations were allowed into Tibet, enabling our own area for a number of migratory and resident bird species.

  • Human Impact on Vegetation Dynamics Around Lhasa, Southern Tibetan Plateau, China
    sustainability Article Human Impact on Vegetation Dynamics around Lhasa, Southern Tibetan Plateau, China Haidong Li 1, Yingkui Li 2, Yuanyun Gao 1, Changxin Zou 1, Shouguang Yan 1 and Jixi Gao 1,* 1 Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences, Ministry of Environmental Protection, Nanjing 210042, China; [email protected] (H.L.); [email protected] (Y.G.); [email protected] (C.Z.); [email protected] (S.Y.) 2 Department of Geography, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-25-8528-7278 Academic Editor: Tan Yigitcanlar Received: 13 September 2016; Accepted: 3 November 2016; Published: 8 November 2016 Abstract: Human impact plays an increasing role on vegetation change even on the Tibetan Plateau, an area that is commonly regarded as an ideal place to study climate change. We evaluate the nature and extent of human impact on vegetation dynamics by the comparison of two areas: the relative highly populated Lhasa area and a nearby less populated Lhari County. Our results indicate that human impact has mainly decreased vegetation greenness within 20 km of the urban area and major constructions during 1999–2013. However, the impact of human activities in a relatively large area is still minor and does not reverse the major trends of vegetation dynamics caused by the warming temperature in recent decades. It seems that the impact of anthropogenic factors on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) trend is more apparent in the Lhasa area than in Lhari County. The major anthropogenic driving factor for vegetation browning in the Lhasa area is livestock number, while the factors, including the number of rural laborers and artificial forest areas, are positively correlated with the annual NDVI increase.

  • Geothermal Resources and Utilization In
    Presented at the Workshop for Decision Makers on Direct Heating Use of Geothermal Resources in Asia, organized by UNU-GTP, TBLRREM and TBGMED, in Tianjin, China, 11-18 May, 2008. GEOTHERMAL TRAINING PROGRAMME TBLRREM TBGMED GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES AND UTILIZATION IN TIBET AND THE HIMALAYAS Dor Ji Tibet Bureau of Exploration & Development of Geology and Mineral Resources 850000 Lhasa Tibet CHINA [email protected] ABSTRACT Tibet is located in the east section of the Mediterranean-Himalayan Geothermal Zone, one of the world’s greater geothermal zones. Various high temperature geothermal manifestations are distributed throughout Tibet. In Yangbajain and Yangyi etc. 10 geothermal fields have been explored or detailed surveys have been made. The total resource potential is 299 GW. Yangbajain has an installed capacity of 24.18 MWe and has run safely for nearly 30 years. Medium-low temperature geothermal resources are used in greenhouses, baths, for medical care, space heating and industrial washing amongst other aspects. The geothermal resources are suitable for district heating and have great potential. Furthermore, utilization of shallow geothermal energy by means of Geothermal Shallow Heat Pumps (GSHPs) can satisfy the demands for space heating in Lhasa and most other larger towns in Tibet. 1. INTRODUCTION There are abundant geothermal resources in Tibet. More than 600 hot springs are distributed throughout the area. It ranks second place with regards to available geothermal resources in different provinces, regions and cities in our country. In addition Tibet is the area where most of the geothermal manifestations hotter than 100°C are located; In fact nearly half of the total of geothermal manifestations hotter than 100°C, in China, are located in Tibet, and the total reserve of thermal energy ranks first in the country.

  • Tibet Extension
    Tibet extension from Kathmandu 2019 Tibet SU - A visit to Tibet offers an exciting extension to your holiday in the Himalaya, and regular flights to Lhasa from Kathmandu make it possible to visit most of the major sights in and around Lhasa on an 8 day itinerary. Tibet’s high plateau offers totally different and starker scenery to that of the other Himalayan countries. Here you will see some of the most important historical and cultural sites of Tibetan Buddhism – the Potala Palace and Samye, Ganden and Drepung Monasteries. If taking this extension, our agents in Kathmandu will need to deliver your passport to the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu where your Tibet visa will be processed. The embassy will need your passport for 2-3 nights after which it will be returned to you by our agents. You will then be able to fly to Lhasa the next day. The embassy is only open on weekdays and the flight to Lhasa is generally in the early morning – both of these factors affect how long you will need to spend in Kathmandu. You therefore need to let us know in good time if you wish to take this extension. SUGGESTED ITINERARY sion Option Day 1 – Fly to Gonggar. Drive to Tsedang, 3,550m/11,647ft. You will be picked up from your Kathmandu hotel and transferred to the airport for the flight to Gonggar in Tibet where you meet your Tibetan guide and driver.

  • Insar Technique Applied to the Monitoring of the Qinghai-Tibet
    InSAR Technique Applied to the Monitoring of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Qingyun Zhang1,2, Yongsheng Li2, Jingfa Zhang2, Yi Luo2 1The first Monitoring and Application Center, China Earthquake Administration, Tianjin, China. 5 2Key Laboratory of Crustal Dynamics, Institute of Crustal Dynamics, China Earthquake Administration, 100085, Beijing Correspondence to: Yongsheng Li ([email protected]) Abstract. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is the highest-altitude railway in the world. With the influence of human activities and geological disasters, it is necessary to monitor ground deformation along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. In this paper, Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) (T405 and T133) and TerraSAR-X data 10 were used to monitor the Lhasa-Nagqu section of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway from 2003 to 2012. The data period covers the time before and after the opening of the railway (total of ten years). This study used a new analysis method (Full Rank Matrix (FRAM) Small Baseline Subset InSAR (SBAS) time-series analysis) to analyze the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Before the opening of the railway (from 2003 to 2005), the Lhasa-Nagqu road surface deformation was not obvious, with a maximum deformation of approximately 5 mm/yr; in 2007, the railway was completed and opened to traffic, and the resulting subsidence of the 15 railway in the district of Damxung was obvious (20 mm/yr). After the opening of the railway (from 2008 to 2010), the Damxung segment included a considerable area of subsidence, while the northern section of the railway was relatively stable. The results indicate that FRAM-SBAS technology is capable of providing comprehensive and detailed subsidence information regarding railways with millimeter-level accuracy.

  • Chapter 4. Case Studies on Sustainable Use of Geothermal
    Chapter 4 Case Studies on Sustainable Use of Geothermal Energy This chapter should be cited as Sakaguchi K. and V. Anbumozhi (2015), ‘Case Studies on Sustainable Use of Geothermal Energy’, in Sustainability Assessment of Utilising Conventional and New Type Geothermal Resources in East Asia. ERIA Research Project Report 2014-41, Jakarta: ERIA, pp.57-102. Available at: http://www.eria.org/RPR_FY2014_No.41_Chapter_4.pdf Chapter 4 Case Studies on Sustainable Use of Geothermal Energy 4. Introduction of Chapters 4 and 5 The topics of interest for sustainability of geothermal power generation and direct heat use pointed out in Section 2.5 are summarised below in order of priority (based on input from China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan): 1. Monitoring and reservoir engineering, 2. Reinjection, 3. Anti-scaling, and 4. Anti-corrosion and anti-erosion. For ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems, no common interests were found, but basic hydrogeological data collection and system monitoring were pointed out to be important for the sustainable use of GSHP. On the other hand, in Section 4.1, the importance of international cooperation was pointed out. Therefore, we decided to collect case studies from each member country concerning these topics to find possible solutions for sustainable use of geothermal energy. Thus case studies are presented in the next section. These case studies are compiled and used as a base of the guidelines shown in the following chapters. Although the solutions shown in the following sections and chapters may contribute to the sustainability of geothermal use to some extent, continuous studies are needed for future use.
