The Finale-wet Season Sampling of GEOBBC Program was Carried out Successfully

On Oct 16-18th, a group of us (Gan, Shizhen, Xiaofei, Buqing, Jiao, Linbo, Zhicheng, Weiru, Xiao) went to the Dongjiang River for the final intensive sampling champaign in wet season. Zhicheng was elected to be the “commander”, who has been newly titled as “胡一钻” by Prof.Gan for his subtle skills to sample a perfect sediment column at one try. Prof.Gan and Miss Shizhen were special guests, who instructed the sampling operation patiently and brought us good luck for sampling. After a three-day hard work, samples including 4 sediment columns, 29 surface water samples, 3 sets of water samples of different depths, 1 bulk depostion samples and several passive air samples were collected. The whole intensive sampling champaign in two seasons has completed successfully and all the samples will be treated rationally and carefully. We are looking forward to the follow-up accomplishments!

Good luck from Miss Shizhen. ❤

Precious sediment column.

The soil profiles were surveyed for preparing the next research plan.

Xiaofei’s new paper accepted by ES&T

Xiaofei’s new paper entitled ‘ Provenance of Aerosol Black Carbon over Northeast Indian Ocean and South China Sea and Implications for Oceanic BC Cycling‘ has been accepted for publication in ES&T; and was chosen as a supplementary cover story of the issue. Congratulations!

Image chosen for a supplementary cover story of the ES&T issue. The little Asian elephant was added as an element to represent the South and Southeast Asia, where the studied area was.

Source fractions (pie chart) and air mass back trajectories (colored lines) of aerosol black carbon (BC) in the dual-carbon isotope province of “SCS close to Chinese Mainland” (gray), “Open SCS” (green), “NEIO close to Southeast Asia” (blue), “Open NEIO” (light purple), “Malacca Strait” (pink) and “Sunda Strait” (orange). Air mass back trajectories in an isotope province share the same color. (SCS: the South China Sea; NEIO: the northeast Indian Ocean)

“Wind-in-his-hair” Ssampling Campaign at Heshan in Preparation

On July 17th, a small group of Shizhen, Engineer Li, Linbo, Lele, Jianchu and Weiru went to the Heshan air monitoring supersite, to maintain air sampling machines on the rooftop of the station building as well as supply 40 sets of sampling materials for summer sampling campaign. Despite of the heavy rain, we five struggled in the rain to protect Engineer Li and the machines.Finally,  all the  machines were complished flow correction. We look forward to the approaching  sampling campaign.

Well-packaged sampling materials.

Professional Engineer Li was maintaining air sampling machines.
