The article examines changes in the size and water levels of lakes on the Tibetan Plateau from 1972 to 2019 in response to climate change. The researchers used mathematical formulas to analyze the variations in area, lake level, and volume of these lakes over time. The study found that the lakes on the Tibetan Plateau have been experiencing changes in size and water levels due to climate change.
