On March 2nd, Jibing invited us out for dinner to celebrate his new role as a father. On March 10, Tiangan visited the group to see Yangzhi off, as Yangzhi will go to Stockholm University for a one-year study. We drank too much alcohol that night that we even forgot to take a group photo.
On the 15th of November, the intensive air sampling campaign was initiated in Heshan Atmospheric Supersite (receptor site), Guangzhou (GIG, urban site), and Boluo (Background site). The campaign, named as “Wind-in-his-hair” (风中散发) by Gan, will last for one month. Chuxin, Yuwei, and Jianchu/Yingjian will be responsible for the operations in Heshan, Guangzhou and Boluo, respectively. Atmospheric particulate and gaseous samples, carbon dioxide and bulk deposition samples will be collected synchronically at the 3 key sites. We look forward to fruitful results from this fieldwork.
Selected sampling sites. 
We sent Chuxin to Heshan Supersite. He will be there for one month.

Discussions.
Just have a nap.
Ruiling’s work ‘Aquatic environmental fates and risks of benzotriazoles, benzothiazoles, and p-phenylenediamines in a catchment providing water to a megacity of China‘ was recently published in Environmental Research.
Huang Chen’s paper ‘Identifying persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) organic compounds detected in shale gas wastewater‘ was recently published in Science of The Total Environment.
Many congratulations！
