Jianchu recently spent an exciting week in Sri Lanka, teaming up with researchers at the University of Peradeniya! From August 12-17, he worked with Professor Parakrama Karunaratne’s team to push forward the Maritime Silk Road Air Pollution Monitoring Initiative. During the visit, Jianchu engaged in detailed discussions with Prof. Karunaratne on air sampling plan for the project. Working collaboratively with members of Prof. Karunaratne’s team, Jianchu successfully completed the assembly and preliminary testing runs of air samplers scheduled for deployment.
While conducting sampling work, Jianchu also had the opportunity to experience Sri Lankan culture by visiting the University of Peradeniya campus. At Prof. Karunaratne’s suggestion, he further explored famous sites—the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (where a tooth of Lord Buddha is enshrined), and the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.

On August 26, Zhao Hangyi successfully completed the scientific expedition in the Beibu Gulf and returned to Zhanjiang Port, Guangdong, aboard the research vessel Lanbo-1. The expedition began on August 2 and concluded smoothly on August 26, lasting a total of 25 days. The research area covered the Beibu Gulf and the Qiongzhou Strait.
During the cruise, a wide range of samples was collected, including atmospheric samples, seawater, rainwater, and seabed sediments. These samples have now been transported back to the laboratory for further analysis.
For Zhao Hangyi, this expedition was not only a success in terms of sample collection, but also a valuable opportunity to broaden his horizons, build new friendships, and enjoy the unforgettable beauty and stories of life at sea. It was truly a memorable experience.
