Land surface process studies over the Tibetan Plateau had made large achievements in the last three decades, focus mainly on: (1) Multi-sphere interactions in the Tibetan Plateau and their impacts on regional climate, hydrology and ecosystem. (2) Mechanisms and impacts of cryospheric hazards, including cold regions engineering. (3) tempo-spatial patterns of paleoenvironment. Achievement was also made in the changes of polar cryosphere and their influences to high/middle latitudinal climate. Future expectation includes enhancing the modeling work on cryosphere research, multi-discipline research considering multi-sphere interaction, and the potential new directions linked to social activities.
