As a main researcher, he won the first prize of the third National Natural Science Award in 1987 for his project "comprehensive research on the uplift of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and its impact on the natural environment and human activities". He was elected academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999.
Zheng Du has been engaged in the comprehensive study of physical geography for a long time. He once presided over or was responsible for the key projects, major projects, national climbing plan projects and other research tasks of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, especially the geographical research on Plateau and mountain areas. He has made innovations in theory and method in the research on the natural environment and regional differentiation of the Qinghai Tibet plateau.
Character experience

He was elected academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999.
From 1999 to 2003, he was the chief scientist of the national key basic research and development program "formation and evolution of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and its environmental and resource effects". He also presided over the key fund projects of China's eco geographical regional system and its application in the study of global environmental change, and put forward a new program of China's eco geographical regional system.
On December 22, 2011, as a project consultant, he attended the 2011 Annual Symposium of "973 Plan" project "formation mechanism and risk control of catastrophic mountain torrents and debris flows in Western China" hosted by Chengdu Institute of mountain hazards and environment, Ministry of water resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
On December 15, 2013, he attended the expert consultation meeting on national demand and frontier science of mountain disaster reduction held by Chengdu Institute of mountain disaster and environment, Ministry of water resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
On October 10, 2014, he attended the acceptance meeting of the 2010 project of the national major scientific research program of global change research "Research on the formation mechanism and impact of typical global warm periods in the past 2000 years" held in Beijing.
Main achievements
Achievements in scientific research
Zheng Du established the distribution pattern of main types of vertical belt in Mt. Qomolangma area, divided the vertical natural belt of Qinghai Tibet Plateau into monsoon and continental belt spectrum system, constructed the distribution pattern of its structural type group, revealed its differentiation law, established the comprehensive classification system of Arid Valley in Hengduan Mountain area, confirmed and confirmed the core area of cold and drought in the plateau, and clarified the high altitude area Based on the three-dimensional zonal law of natural regional differentiation, the principles and methods of natural regionalization suitable for mountain and plateau are established, and the natural regional system scheme of Qinghai Tibet Plateau is widely used.

Natural region system scheme of Qinghai Tibet Plateau
Zheng Du is a physical geographer and one of the main subject leaders of physical geography in China. Based on the study of the relationship among climate, vegetation and soil zonation, the distribution pattern of main types of vertical zone in Mt. Qomolangma area is established; the vertical natural zone of Qinghai Tibet Plateau is divided into two kinds of band spectrum systems, monsoon and continental; the distribution pattern of structural type group is constructed, and the differentiation law is revealed; the comprehensive classification system of Arid Valley in Hengduan Mountain area is established The three-dimensional zonal law of natural regional differentiation in high altitude area is clarified, and the principles and methods of natural regionalization suitable for mountain and plateau are established. The proposed natural regional system scheme of Qinghai Tibet Plateau is the most comprehensive and systematic, and has been widely used so far.
Comprehensive study on natural region system
In the comprehensive study of natural geographical system, he established the principles and methods of natural regionalization applicable to mountains and plateaus, and put forward a new plan for China's eco geographical regional system; in the field of land degradation remediation and ecological construction, he emphasized the importance of regional differentiation and respect for nature, and pointed out that the development and utilization of land and water resources in arid areas should pay attention to the coordination of regional development and environment; in the field of land degradation remediation and ecological construction, he emphasized the importance of regional differentiation and respect for nature Based on the idea of harmony between human and nature, he actively promoted the research and application of environmental ethics in regional development.
In 1987, he won the first prize of the third National Natural Science Award
