Background information
The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, known as the Earth's "Third Pole", is a geologically active region shaped by global plate movements and tectonic activities, and has long attracted the attention of numerous geoscience researchers at home and abroad. The International Symposium on the Tibet Plateau, Xinjiang and Siberia (abbreviated as TibXS) is a series of international academic conferences in the fields of geodesy and geodynamics. It mainly discusses the latest achievements in earth sciences focusing on the core research areas of Xizang, Xinjiang and Siberia, as well as the surrounding provinces including Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, Gansu and Qinghai. It provides extremely important scientific basis for environmental protection, disaster monitoring and prevention, ecological and environmental monitoring, impacts of global climate change, research on plateau permafrost, study on land glacier melting, and the protection and utilization of water resources within the research area. Since 2009, the symposium has now been successfully held for a series of 13 International Workshops.
Multi-source observational techniques (e.g., geodetic, gravimetric, and seismic observations), together with multi-scale, multi-parameter joint analysis, constitute a fundamental basis for understanding global change, geohazards, glacier evolution, plate-tectonic deformation, and geodynamic processes. Because different observational techniques exhibit distinct sensitivities, domains of applicability, and limitations when addressing the same geoscientific problem, their integrated and complementary use is essential for elucidating the mechanisms, spatiotemporal evolution, and causal relationships of complex geophysical phenomena. This joint meeting encourages contributions showcasing recent advances in this field, exchanging innovative methodologies, posing forward-looking scientific questions, and sharing original and intellectually challenging insights.
