LHASA, Tibet, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Geologists from Caltech and civil engineers from the China Earthquake Administration have combined forces and discovered an ancient canyon buried in South Tibet.
The canyon is buried along the Yarlung Tsangpo River, north of the Himalayas. Engineers from the China Earthquake Administration collected cores in five locations along the valley floor last year. Jing Liu-Zeng, a graduate student from Caltech, works for the administration, and he brought the data from the cores back to the university.
