RECENT EXPEDITIONS
CERS regularly launches expeditions into the most remote parts of China and at times border regions of neighboring countries.

Most recently in 2011, CERS successfully launched an expedition to define the source of the Salween River, an important water system that began in northern Tibet and flowed through southwest China into Myanmar and Thailand before entering the sea.  Later the same summer, a large CERS team entered the Arjin Mountain Nature Reserve and arrived at the Tibetan Antelope calving ground at an elevation of over 5000 meters to continue their long-term study of the Tibetan Antelope.  Separately, a CERS team conducted new caving exploration in Yunnan, filming with CCTV a new blind fish species which the team has discovered on previous expedition.
