BOONE, N.C. — From April to June, as part of a robust effort to improve understanding of and resilience to the impacts of climate change on mountain systems, National Geographic and Tribhuvan University led what is likely the most comprehensive single scientific expedition to Mount Everest. It included two faculty researchers from Appalachian State University: Dr. Baker Perry and Dr. Anton Seimon.

The expedition team conducted groundbreaking research in five areas of science that are critical to understanding environmental changes and their impacts: biology, glaciology, geology, mapping and meteorology.

Perry, a professor in Appalachian’s Department of Geography and Planning, served on the expedition’s meteorology team, installing the world’s two highest operating weather stations that will provide researchers, climbers and the public with near real-time information about mountain conditions and help continuously monitor the upper reaches of the atmosphere.

Seimon, a research assistant professor in the Department of Geography and Planning, served on the expedition’s biology team, examining soil samples and glacial lakes to better understand the range of life surviving on Earth’s highest peaks. The team also installed four biodiversity monitoring systems that make up one of the highest Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments (GLORIA) stations in the Himalaya.

Filling critical knowledge gaps

As part of the expedition, the multidisciplinary team achieved the following:

  • Installed the two highest weather stations in the world (at 8,430 meters and 7,945 meters).
  • Collected the highest-ever ice core sample (at 8,020 meters).
  • Conducted comprehensive biodiversity surveys at multiple elevations.
  • Completed the highest-elevation helicopter-based lidar scan.
  • Expanded the elevation records for high-dwelling species.
  • Documented the history of the mountain’s glaciers.

In a June 13 panel discussion as part of National Geographic’s Explorers Festival, Perry said of his team’s weather station installation at more than 27,000 feet, “At the balcony, perched on the southeast ridge of Everest, we found a tiny outcrop of rock and were able to successfully — in a very small area — install the highest weather station in the world. Our Sherpa team was incredible in this effort. They had trained and we had practiced this — and I think their brains worked better at that elevation than ours do — and they were absolutely phenomenal in that team effort.”

About Perry’s meteorology work

Meteorologists installed, and will continue to operate, five high-elevation weather stations that will provide researchers, climbers and the public with near real-time information about mountain conditions and help continuously monitor the upper reaches of the atmosphere, which is critical to tracking and predicting weather patterns around the globe.

Key Results:

  • Installed five automated weather stations (AWSs) on Mount Everest, two* of which are the world’s highest operating stations:
    • Phortse (3,810 meters)
    • Everest Base Camp (5,315 meters)
    • Camp II (6,464 meters)
    • South Col* (7,945 meters)
    • Balcony* (8,430 meters)
  • The Balcony weather station is the first weather station installed at an elevation above 8,000 meters, meaning it will also be the first to sample the stratosphere as natural variations in the atmospheric boundaries change over time.
About Seimon’s biology work

Two teams of biologists from the United States and Nepal examined soil samples and glacial lakes to better understand the range of life surviving on Earth’s highest peaks. Wildlife, insects and plants at these elevations are often indicator species that can help scientists understand changes taking place in an ecosystem that might not otherwise be visible. In this way, high-elevation species can help identify early warning signs of future impacts while providing evidence of how they are adapting to a changing environment.

The team also kick-started citizen science efforts to document species at high elevations on and around Mount Everest using National Geographic’s citizen science platform, iNaturalist.

Key Results:

  • Installed four biodiversity monitoring systems that make up one of the highest Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments (GLORIA) stations in the Himalaya.
    • GLORIA stations are a standardized network of low-impact monitoring systems that enable a global assessment of climate change on biodiversity.
  • Logged 62 observations via iNaturalist, accounting for 51 species of plants and wildlife.
  • Recorded likely new elevation records for at least two insect species:
    • Observed a centipede at approximately 5,510 meters.
    • Observed a caddisfly at approximately 5,610 meters.

Baker said he was impressed with the resiliency of the entire team. “We faced a lot of challenges — 90% of us faced sickness at some point, (and) there were other challenges brought on by the weather that compressed the number of summit days — and to achieve the successes we did was a remarkable testament to the strength of our Sherpa team, our science team, our media team and our Nepali support staff and our partners at Tribhuvan University.”

According to National Geographic, studies have shown that the glaciers of the Hindu Kush Himalaya, where Mount Everest is located, are rapidly disappearing due to increasing global temperatures. The extreme conditions of high-elevation mountain ranges have made studying the true impacts of climate and environmental changes nearly impossible. As a result, there are critical knowledge gaps about the history of these glaciers and about future impacts that their disappearance would have on the lives and livelihoods of the more than 1 billion people in the region who depend on the reliable flow of water these glaciers provide.

“Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity and there is still much to learn about how it’s already altered the world, from the deepest parts of the ocean to its tallest mountains,” said Jonathan Baillie, executive vice president and chief scientist at the National Geographic Society. “By harnessing our 131-year history of exploration and venturing into some of the most extreme environments on the planet, we will fill critical data gaps on the world’s life support systems and drive solutions to assure that they can continue to fuel our future.”

Documenting change through storytelling

The Everest expedition is part of National Geographic’s new Life at the Extremes program and is the first in a series of Perpetual Planet Extreme Expeditions. The expeditions aim to explore and better understand some of the most extreme environments on planet Earth.

Data collected from the Perpetual Planet Extreme Expeditions in these environments will support new decision-making tools, called Perpetual Planet Extreme Indices, which will provide real-time and historical data on the factors that contribute to the health of these ecosystems. The scientific research conducted by the expedition team will be complemented by coverage on NationalGeographic.com and in National Geographic magazine.

A National Geographic story published June 13 touched on the human side of the expedition, including how Perry’s team overcame a serious obstacle while assembling the weather station at 27,650 feet: After discovering two important parts were missing from their gear, they improvised with duct tape and a shovel handle to complete assembly of the 7-foot-tall station.
