We took another picture almost at the same location as in May 2005 when Kevin first visited Gan at GIG. Time flys whilst the great friendship has witnessed great success and collaboration between Lancaster and GIG!

On March 29, a workshop meeting was held at BBL 728 for reviewing the progress and planning next step work. Kevin, Scot, and Doug on Lancaster side, Feng Bin from Boxin Inc, and representatives from GD Environ. Monior. Centre attended the meeting. Mo Yangzhi gave a detailed report on current progress in low-cost sensor calibration work; Feng Bin reported on land-use, population and traffic data collection; GDEMC introduced their mobile observation van. Shizhen, Li Jun and Gan presented. The progress of LUR by far has been successful, and we hope Yangzhi become of an expert in LUR.
The LUR project aims at using land-use regression model to predict air quality at intra-urban district scale. It is one of our successful bid for Urban-Innovation Programme launched by Guangdong and UK.
Yangzhi is making great contribution to the LUR project.

On March 5-15th, two ladies of our group, Zhang Ruiling and Liu Xin took a trip to Jinjing, Changsha, Hunan Province for water sampling in a small catchment. This sampling campaign was designed to investigate prevalence of antibiotic use in a typical socialist new countryside (金井镇脱甲村) based on wastewater epidemiology. It’s also part of the ongoing Dongting Lake Programme. The two ladies selected 10 sites in Tuojia catchment (脱甲河流域). A total of 30 o-DGT (organic-diffusive gradients in thin-films) passive samplers were deployed for 7 days and fully retrieved, grab water and sediment samples were also collected. At one of the sampling sites, they collected 24 h composite water per day using a small peristaltic pump. They appreciate great support from Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, the CAS (中科院亚热带农业生态研究所) for guiding in the field and offering a lab at Changsha Agricultural Environment Station, the CAS (中科院长沙农业环境站). The sampling was fairly smooth and they took the opportunity to better prepare for upcoming sampling campaign in Hanoi, Vietnam.
