Jianchu’s 6 day travel in Sri Lanka

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.

Prof Habib appointed member of UN Independent Scientific Panel on effects of nuclear war

On 17 July, Professor MD Ahsan Habib received an official letter issued  by the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres （安东尼奥⋅古特雷斯）, appointing him selected member of the  UN Independent Scientific Panel on effects of nuclear war, which includes 21 members in total. Habib was selected both as a senior professor in Dhaka University and a fellow of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Huge honor and great task, congratulations to Professor Habib!

The independent scientific panel of experts is tasked with examining the physical effects and societal consequences of a nuclear war on a local, regional and planetary scale in the days, weeks and decades following a nuclear war.

The panel was established pursuant to General Assembly resolution 79/238, titled “Nuclear War Effects and Scientific Research”, and is mandated to examine “the physical effects and societal consequences” of a nuclear war “on a local, regional and planetary scale, including, inter alia, the climatic, environmental and radiological effects, and their impacts on public health, global socioeconomic systems, agriculture and ecosystems, in the days, weeks and decades following a nuclear war”.

The panel consists of 21 members drawn from a range of scientific fields, including:  nuclear and radiation studies; atmospheric sciences and climate; environment and environmental studies; agriculture, biology and life sciences; public health and medicine; and behavioural and social sciences and applied economics.

Participation in the 10th Youth Geoscience Forum

From May 9 to 13, Gan, Shizhen, Zhineng, and several former group members attended the 10th Youth Geoscience Forum held in Hefei. Shizhen co-organized and chaired the session on “Emerging Contaminants in the Atmosphere and Ocean” together with Ma Yuxin, Tang Jianhui, and Zhu Ying.

Gan was invited as a special guest and gave a keynote talk titled “An Atmospheric Science Perspective on Emerging Contaminants.” Shizhen also invited Liu Qifan to speak on “Atmospheric Chemistry of Emerging Pollutants” and Xing Xinli to present on “Tire Wear Particles in Road Dust.” Other attendees also gave excellent presentations, contributing to a highly successful and engaging session.

In addition to chairing the session, Shizhen gave a separate presentation on atmospheric microplastics in another session focused on emerging contaminants, further showcasing the group’s research on airborne microplastic pollution.

After the session, the group enjoyed a traditional Anhui-style dinner, where they continued exchanging ideas and strengthening connections in a relaxed setting.
