Research Fields

  Academy of Plateau Science and Sustainability will closely focus on national and regional economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction, pay close attention to the frontier of international science and technology, deepen basic and applied research, and devote itself to in-depth study of major issues related to plateau science and sustainable development of plateau economy and society. The main research areas of the Institute are:

Plateau Education

  one is the study of brain cognition under high altitude hypoxia, concerning about the study of cognitive function, adaptive mechanism and learning effect of high altitude students in hypoxic environment,The other is the study of bilingual education and teaching in Plateau areas, paying attention to the bilingual teaching mode and the establishment of a bilingual teaching system suitable for students' learning ability, carrying out compilation of bilingual textbook and development of bilingual teaching resources, establishing resource bank for bilingual education teaching, formulating standards for bilingual education teaching quality , forming a perfect monitoring index system, as well as a computer information and IT system.

Plateau History and Culture

  One is the study of plateau ethnic change and integration development, paying close attention to the mutual cultural learning and exchanges among different plateau nationalities, and exploring the cultural exchange history, the experiences and lessons and geopolitical relations of “the belt and road” countries, building a development paradigm for good neighborly and friendly relations. The other is the study on the development of plateau tourism industry, tapping the plateau cultural resources with local advantages, building innovative, coordinated, green,open and shared development models for the exploitation and utilization of the plateau cultural resources with local advantages.

Plateau Geography and Environment

  The first is to understand the changes of plateau geography and environment,paying attention to the discipline of plateau surface processes, and the evolution of geography and ecological environment, understanding the “source and sink” of global climate change, and the impact of human activities on the evolution of geography and ecological environment,The second is to quantify the rational,efficient and sustainable use of resources, establishing dynamic monitoring system, quantitative evaluation system and sustainable utilization model of resources.

Plateau Biology

  One is the study of biological growth and development in extreme plateau environment,Attention should be paid to solving the growth and development mechanism and adaptation process of Plateau animals, plants and microorganisms (especially microalgae) under hypoxia and high radiation environment,The other is the study of the development model of new modern plateau agriculture, forestry, grassland and ecological industry, exploring the establishment of a bioindustry technology-economic system with modern facility and "more lighting, less water use and high output", paying attention to the optimization and complementary system of plateau modern agriculture and ecological industrial structure, the establishment of ecological and biological safety system and plateau National Park system, etc.

Plateau Health

  One is the plateau hypoxic environment and the plateau pathology of human and livestock, paying attention to the damage and damage mechanism of human and livestock in extreme environment such as anoxia, cold ,dryness,strong ultraviolet radiation and other extreme climate conditions in Plateau area. Second, the prevention and control of human and animal plateau diseases, developing clinical techniques for preventing altitude sickness, improving general techniques of local hypoxic facilities, and constructing technical and economic models for improving hypoxic environment and the natural and socio-economic conditions for human and animal health.

Plateau Disaster Prevention and Mitigation

  The first is to understand the formation law of Plateau disasters. Attention should be paid to the understanding of geological, seismic, meteorological and hydrological disasters, multiple disasters,disaster chain, comprehension to disaster encounters and regional disaster risk assessment. The second is to construct a comprehensive disaster risk prevention paradigm, to quantize the comprehensive disaster risk prevention and assessment,as well as the regional model, to establish a fast and accurate disaster early warning and assessment system, to construct disaster prevention pro-grams and emergency response technology, etc.

Plateau Atmospheric Hydrology

  The Plateau Atmospheric Hydrology Research aims to systematically study the impacts of hydrological characteristics of the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau on climate, and the impacts of the Earth-atmosphere coupling system on regional and global energy and water cycles. The study involves a variety of elements of hydrometeorology , including radiation, temperature, wind speed, precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, runoff,surface water, groundwater, as well as changes in the total.

Plateau Economy

  The Plateau Economy Research aims to study the advantageous foundation and ability of developing green economy and characteristic economy in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, and promote the optimization and upgrading of the economic structure of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, including the basic ideas, strategic priorities, selection and positioning of characteristic industries, as well as actively strive for the support of national policies and funds, and carry out institutional and technological innovation, develop human resources, strengthen regional economic and trade cooperation, and increase policy consultation and research on economic development with characteristics such as opening up to the outside world and soon.

Plateau Energy and Resources

  To serve the development and utilization of energy resources in the plateau region of China, especially in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region, and to coordinate the R&D efforts of various parties to jointly explore the major scientific and technological problems in the process of plateau energy development and utilization; to carry out the construction of energy disciplines and cultivation of basic research talents in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region, and to improve the regional energy research capability and level. Systematically improve the regulatory system for efficient and clean utilization of fossil energy, development and utilization of renewable energy, and new generation energy strategies and policies, in order to provide effective scientific and technological support, decision-making consultation and social services.
