Baruch Spiro (left 4) works in Natural History Museum in London. He received a CAS visiting professorship and stayed with the group for a total of 3 months. He has been arround from 2006 when we had a joint workshop in Chengdu. This was in Dec 2012 when he first received the visiting professorship and visited us for planning.

Baruch with Dominik Weiss of Imperial College visited us on March 7 2008. They were discussing with Professor Shen Chende on the radiocarbon dating of the peatbog samples collected during our Zoige trip in 2006. The result was published in Quaternary Science Reviews 28 (2009) 3303–3314, led by David Large of Nortingham University.

Professor Tao Shu (陶澍院士）in Peking University has been a long-term collaborator with our group since 1996. Here we were investigating rural energy use in Yantai, Shandong, on January 9 2010. The corn cobs stored in the cage would be burn for domestic heating in the winter. The black carbon, fine particulates and PAHs emissions from rural biomass burning were thought to be very importatn sources for the air pollution in North China plain.
