Nick Pepin has been working in collaboration with a group of Chinese scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. This has led to 4 published papers in international journals with high impact factors (3 of which are listed below). This collaboration developed because the Chinese scientists were particularly interested in climate changes in the Tibetan plateau and whether there has been amplification of effects in this region. Nick had already published a number of papers looking at the elevational amplification of climate trends (its presence or absence) on a global scale, and in other parts of the globe based on a combination of his field data and secondary datasets, and the Chinese were keen to see whether the ideas and theories in these papers applied to their data, and compare results.
