"In a warming climate, the sustainability of cryospheric meltwater on the Tibetan Plateau has raised concerns because of its importance for the fragile ecosystem in the headwater regions and the dense populations in the downstream. Existing studies mainly focused on glacier melt and snow melt on the Tibetan Plateau, which are above the ground surface can be detected from the surface using in-situ or satellite observations".

They found that when it gets warmer in the , temperatures also rise in . But when rain increases in the , snowfall decreases in the region, sometimes called the " ".

Using snow cover data, the scientists also detected what they say are early warnings the has been approaching a tipping point of its own since 2008.

"The Tibetan Plateau has experienced prominent warming & wetting since the mid-1990s that has altered the thermal & hydrological properties of its frozen ground. In a new study, scientists used the Community Land Surface Model to uncover that the dual effect of this wetting and the projected increase in precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau in the future is becoming a critical factor in determining the thermodynamics of the frozen ground".

"The Tibetan Plateau is tough to be conquered by the meteorological scientists for its high altitude, steep terrain & harsh natural environments. However, numerous studies have shown large biases in global climate model simulations over the Tibetan Plateau. To acquire more refined and representative datasets, dynamical downscaling, an important way to obtain high-resolution climate information in the target region, entering the limelight".

"From September to October of 2015, a 60-person team were gathering on the Guliya ice cap in the Kunlun Mountains of the Tibetan Plateau, with the purpose to retrieve the world’s oldest ice".
