1 Introduc)on of TPE Programme and Poten)al Collabora)on with GEWEX Provided by Prof. Ailikun Director of TPE IPO Ins)tute of Atmospheric Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences 29 Sep. 2016

2 The Third Pole region covers 5 million km2 in area with an eleva7on higher than 4000m by average

3 The Third Pole Region Ø Water tower of Asia with strong downstream impacts, but one of the most water scarcity areas in the world Ø Significantly influenced by global warming Ø Crucial glacier retrea)ng, snow and permafrost mel)ng Ø Richest area with natural biodiversity but rapid ecosystem degrada)on in recent decades Ø Most disaster-prone (climate and non-climate) area in the world Ø Poorest area in the world Ø Rapid economic development in recent decades

4 To Understand the Earth System Interac7on in TPE Region Cryosphere Biosphere Atmosphere Multisphere interactions Lithosphere Hydrosphere Anthrosphere ü Earth is a dynamic complex system and Third Pole is a key region which triggers or influences many regional evolu)on processes of the earth system ü TPE programme focuses on the third pole and all its interconnec)ons with other areas or processes of the earth system. ü The overarching objec)ve of TPE is to obtain a system understanding of the evolu)on of third pole and of its impact on the dynamics of the earth system: past - present - future.

5 Key Scien7fic Ques7ons for TPE Programme ü What are the key earth system processes and their interac)ons among mul)-spheres in Pan-TP region? ü What are the impacts of global environment change to Pan-Third Pole environment? And what are the feedbacks? ü How to protect and safeguard the livelihood local people, and how to support government/people approaching to the UN SDGs?

6 Objec7ves of TPE TPE programme provides an important plagorm to enhancing the interna7onal collabora7on. Water in the Third Pole is proposed to be the most important objec7ve, and we focus on clarifying the cryospheric melt dominant processes and consequences, and proposing measures to mi7gate or adapt to hazardous consequences.

11 Some Thinking on Future collaboration with GEWEX/WCRP Collabora)ng issues: 1. Glacier/permafrost/snow dynamics and water resources 2. Mul7-sphere (Glacierland-atmospherehydrosphere) interac7ons 3. Land use/cover changes and ecosystem Collabora)ng objec)ves Ø To understand the mechanism of water resource and water cycle changes in TPE region Ø To support the local and regional sustainability by understanding the waterfood-energy nexus in TPE region
