CHINA plans to launch five Antarctic research expeditions and another three to the Arctic from 2011 to 2015, said an official with the Chinese Arctic and Antarctic Administration yesterday.
China will launch its 28th Antarctic research expedition in early November and its fifth to the Arctic in early July 2012, said Qu Tanzhou, director of the CAA, at the annual seminar on China's polar region expedition and research in Shanghai.
In the 2011-2015 period, Chinese researchers will focus on monitoring the weather and environment changes in the polar regions, Qu said.
Qu said climate change in the polar regions will inevitably influence China, and the research would benefit the nation's adaptation to climate change.
China plans to build a new icebreaker before 2015, which will form a polar maritime research team with icebreaker Xuelong, "Snow Dragon," said Qin Weijia, head of the CAA's committee of the Communist Party of China.
Qin said the plan to build the new icebreaker has already been approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, the nation's top economic planner.
