Visiting Lanzhou University

Visiting Lanzhou University and Gan-Nan (甘南)

(2014.8.19-24)

ga_2014_lu11Zhang Gan and Li Jun visited Prof Ma Jianmin (马健民, left 2)and Gao Hong(高宏, left 1)at Lanzhou University. Jianmin is a briliant modeller in POPs and air research. The two gorups have a long history of cooperation.

ga_2014_lu22We gave talks there and appreciate Prof Ma’s help in writing the NSFC Key proposal which we have successfully secured this year, on biomass burning in Indo-China peninsula. Prof Ma was also Xu Yue’s supervisor when she was in Canada.

ga_2014_lu77ZHang Ran was very happy to be so close to the air plane.

ga_2014_lu88Labrang Monastery (拉卜楞寺)is the highest ‘University’ for Tibetan Buhdism. It mimics, according to my observation, an education system of Oxford-U or Cambridge-U, where colleges are the core units.

ga_2014_lu99Langmu Temple (郎木寺)is at the very south of Gansu province bordering SiChuan.

We had coffees togethere sitting around the corner of the small railway station of Miesbach, by the Alps mountain. Junwen was with Szidat in Bern, Swiss, and Fobang has been with Ulrich in Mainze, Germany. They took train to Miesbach for the short but memorable meeting proving that-this is a small world.
