An Yin, professor at University of California Los Angeles and internationally acknowledged Tibetan Plateau researcher, was invited to ITP on August 10, 2012, to conduct academic exchanges with geologists.

During the exchange, Prof. Yin presented his latest research entitled “Evidence and possible cause of the Yarlung River reversal during the late Cenozoic development of the Himalayan Orogen”, where he elaborated on the study of the evolution of the Yarlung Zangbo river system, focusing on river system formation and related tectonics.

Discussions were conducted after his talk, and notes were exchanged, which are conducive to further cooperation of ITP researchers with Prof. An Yin.
