BEIJING, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- The following is a summary of published science and technology news of China:

WETLAND MAP

Chinese researchers recently produced a high resolution wetland map of East Asia, shedding new light on wetland conservation and sustainable development.

The study has been published in the journal Remote Sensing of Environment.

In this study, the researchers developed a novel two-stage classification for continental-scale wetland mapping and generated the first and up-to-date 10-meter-resolution wetland map of East Asia.

METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATION STATIONS

A Chinese expedition team reached the peak of Mount Cho Oyu, also known as Mt. Qowowuyag, and set up an automatic weather station atop this mountain for the first time.

The establishment of the weather station is aimed at revealing more about the characteristics of climate change in this extremely high-altitude region.
