To explore merging point for future cooperation, Prof. Deliang Chen, executive director of International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and professor at Goeteborgs Universitet, Sweden, visited QOMolangma atmospheric and environmental Observation and Research Station (QOMORS) on August 5, 2011.

He was welcomed by Drs. ZHOU Xiaoping and WANG Zhongyan, who showed him around the station to introduce to him observation field, in situ monitoring facilities and operation of the station since its establishment in 2005.

Marveled at the endurance of ITP staff on duty in spite of the hardship of subsistence in the region, Prof. Chen offered some suggestions on better maintaining the operation of the field station. He emphasized on the importance of field observation and monitoring, as well as the importance of long-term data accumulation, hoping to conduct cooperation with QOMORS in the future.
