The lakes on the roof of the world show a trend of later freezing-up, earlier breaking-up and thus shorten ice-covered duration since late 1970s, researchers report in the 2nd December Nature Scientific Data. The findings explicitly reflect the changes in thermodynamics of lakes under a warmer climate and implicate substantial associated alteration in biogeochemical processes in the region.

BEIJING, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have reconstructed a complete dataset of the lake ice phenology of 132 lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 1978 to 2016, said the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

Designed for the "Meridian Space Weather Monitoring Project-II", five digital ionosondes have been installed and start operation at the observatories of this Project, according to the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on November 16,2022.

Five Young Scientist Projects supported by the National Key R&D Program "Ecosystem Protection and Restoration for Typical Ecologically Vulnerable Areas" were launched in Beijing on November 27, 2022, among which two projects are undertook by research teams with the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

A study published in Nature Communications describes a flexible HSPRM system that operates by using a hyperspectral microscope to analyze the selected area of SPR image produced by a prism-based spectral SPR sensor.The HSPRM system is developed by a research team of the State Key Laboratory of Transducer Technology at the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

A China-Australia project is conducted to develop transferable integrated tools for the climate adaptation - disaster risk reduction spectrum, with a focus to help the developing countries with affordable tools, and access to high-quality data and modelling systems related to climate change caused disasters.
