The Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition and Research Task V Theme III "Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plateau Microbial Diversity" (2019QZKK0503) carried out more than 30 field scientific expeditions in the first and second years. Footprints cover most of the Tibetan Plateau, including the investigation of glaciers (such as Qiangyong Glacier, Tanggula Glacier, Everest East Rongbu glacier, Jiemayangzong Glacier, Palung 4 Glacier, etc.), lakes, soils, fungi, lichens, animals in Southeast Tibet, Qiangtang Plateau, Cocosili and Himalayan region. The dataset contains 6,471 photos and videos, including habitat photos, working photos, and scientific images collected during the first and second years of fieldwork.

File naming and required software

File naming: photo files are stored in jpg format, video files are stored in mp4, MOV and other formats. The data should be uploaded as a unit, and the folder should be named "Project No. (2019QZKK0503XX) - Year - Location". For example, "2019QZKK050301-2019-Tibet" means the photos and videos recorded by the Task 5 Topic 3 Subject 1 scientific research team in Tibet in 2019.Naming method of photos in the folder: “year and month (20XX.X) - location - work content”.
Data reading mode: photos in the dataset can be viewed with windows' own picture viewer, etc., and video files can be opened with video playing software.
