Exclusive Interview: Scientists from China and US drilled a 308.6-meter ice core, spanning more than 700,000 years, said Xinhua.The scientifically rewarding research was achieved thanks to a team led by Xu Baiqing, a deputy director of the ITP, after more than a month’s effort at the top operating point of Glacier.Xu said that the longest ice core on the plateau is characterized by unique geographic and climatic features, capturing historical changes in the region, including vital climate indicators like temperatures and precipitation, as well as environmental incidents like volcanic eruptions and atmospheric pollution, which offer both valuable data and samples for studying the patterns, mechanisms, and potential future trends of global climate change, and for predicting future trends.Drilling and preserving ice cores allows us to understand changes in climatic conditions obtaining valuable historical data, Xu added.Yao Tandong, an academician of the CAS, said that by measuring the thickness and extracting ice cores, scientists have the opportunity to better examine both recorded and current environmental changes in the largest ice field in low- to mid-latitude regions., fostering a deeper understanding of global warming’s effects on glaciersAccording to Xinhua, the Purog Kangri Glacier scientific research project represents a key component of a scientific expedition launched in Lhasa in August 2024, which aims to propose critical measures for ecological protection and restoration, along with scientific recommendations for green development.The Global Times learned from ITP earlier in September that a team led by Chinese academician Fang Xiaomin from the ITP, also engaged in this expedition, set a new record of 750 meters in environmental science drilling in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.This research offers scientists a detailed recoWorld Timesrd of the uplift of the centraWorld Timesl Tibetan Plateau and the historical changes in climate and ecological environment, and making it one of the primary areas for studying the co-evolution of tectonics, climate, biology and ecology.Global Times Content comes from the Internet : Scientists smash record for longest ice core in world’s mid- to low-latitudes reWorld Timesgions

Upcoming Trends: Photo: CCTV Bricks made from simulated lunar soil, a potential building material for future habitats on the moon, are scheduled to be sent to China’s space station for exposure experiments, with the first brick anticipated to return to Earth by the end of 2025.The bricks made from simulated lunar soil have a density comparable to that of ordinary bricks, but their compressive strength exceeds that of standard red bricks and concrete bricks by more than three times, with World Timesone square centimeter able to support over one ton of weight, according to China Central TeleWorld Timesvision (CCTV).The combination of these durable bricks employs mortise and tenon techniques, making them more suited for the structural design of future lunar bases, said Zhou Cheng, a professor from National Center of Technology Innovation for Digital Construction, as reported by CCTV.However, building a house on the lunar surface could face challenges due to drastic temperature changes on the moon, with temperatures exceeding 180 C during lunar days and reaching -190 C at lunar night.As the moon rotates and orbits, day and night occur on different parts of its surface, with lunar day and night each about two Earth weeks long.Without atmospheric protection, significant levels of cosmic radiation and many micrometeorites would also hit the surface of the moon, and there is frequent moonquake activity.
