…..while others were interested in processes in the highest altitudes (up to 5700 m.asl) of our investigated catchment.

How did climate in #HighAsia a few thousand years ago look like?
Some colleagues investigated the lakes chemical composition and biota #ttwater………
Microalgae (diatoms A) and lake flies (chironomids B) give useful information about past climate conditions

What is going on between mountains and lakes? We used eddy covariate systems to find out about CO2 fluxes from grasslands and the lake. For this we went up in the sky and we learned the vegetation of the area is really diverse #ttcarbon

Anybody needs a refreshment? The high altitude valleys of Tibet #HighAsia can experience harsh changes in weather; from hot daytimes to freezing nights. Around a month ago we needed coffee to warm ourselves #tttibet

Looking for news? Almost a month ago, our first field campaign ended at Lake Nam Co. From now on, you will receive regular infos on what we did there #tttibet

The beginning of a great (scientific) journey! PhD candidates and PostDocs began to unravel the mysteries of #HighAsia. Based from the field station at Lake Nam Co in Tibet. Sleeping bags prepared in 4730 m.a.s.l.

Hello World! This the TransTiP project #tttibet tweeting with interesting research results from #HighAsia concerning the changes of carbon #ttcarbon, sediment #ttsedi and water cycles #ttwater. Stay tuned for thrilling news from our first fieldtrip...🤠
