Title: Study of dynamic changes of lakes in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau based on remote sensing and GIS
Abstract: Taking MSS image data in 1970's and ETM image data in 2000 as the major data source,the authors studied the dynamic changes of lake areas in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during the recent 30 years by using RS and GIS technology.The results indicate that the total area and the numbers of the lakes in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have increased remarkably with expanding 3 316.52 km2 in total,although the areas of quite a few lakes have been decreasing in the past 30 years.However,the change trends are different in various areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
