Undergraduates from CUG

Undergraduates from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan)

did their winter interne in the group (15.1.26-15.2.5)

In Jan. 25th, two undergraduates (Ke Meng, Bolong Zhang) from Lisiguang college, China university of Geosciences came to our group for theirwinter interne. They are top students (will be graduate in 2016) who thought to be promising graduates in the near future.

During their stay in GIG, They used PLFAs analysis to explore the microbial communities in atmospheric particulates, samples collected in Wuhan, under the guaidance from Yishan Jiang. After the 2 week study, the two handsome boys excellently completed their task with main conclusions as follows:

z1

Conculusion1: Atmospheric particulates in downtown (Wuhan city) have more microbes than those in the suburb:

z2

Conclusion2: Common bacteria and eucaryon are most widely existed microbes in the atmospheric particulates:

z3Conclusion3: Bacteria increase when getting closer to downtown and decrease when moving away from the city:

Field trip to Xieyang Island

Field trip to Xieyang Island (斜阳岛）

On April 21st-23rd 2015, four of us (Guangcai, Jun, Gan and Shichun) went to investigate Xieyang Island as a potential site for monitoring airmass outflow from the Indo-China peninsula, which is part of the NSFC key project. The result is quite positive. Guangcai will continue setting up the station. It is a beatiful background site/island far way from human activity!

ga_2015_xieyang2It is a vocanic island ~15 Km to the southeast of Weizhou Island (涠洲岛） in Beibu Bay（北部湾）.

 

ga_2015_xieyang3There is a small village with tens of people living there.

ga_2015_xieyang4The abandoned establishment provides us an excellent venue for the station.

ga_2015_xieyang10We had to hire a motor boat for approaching Xieyang Island. The adventure took 25~40 min from Weizhou Island, depending on the sea conditions. There is no excuse for not being wetted/sun-burned.
