On March 29, a workshop meeting was held at BBL 728 for reviewing the progress and planning next step work. Kevin, Scot, and Doug on Lancaster side, Feng Bin from Boxin Inc,  and representatives from GD Environ. Monior. Centre attended the meeting. Mo Yangzhi gave a detailed report on current progress in low-cost sensor calibration work; Feng Bin reported on land-use, population and traffic data collection; GDEMC introduced their mobile observation van. Shizhen, Li Jun and Gan presented. The progress of LUR by far has been successful, and we hope Yangzhi become of an expert in LUR.

The LUR project aims at using land-use regression model to predict air quality at intra-urban district scale.  It is one of our successful bid for Urban-Innovation Programme launched by Guangdong and UK. 

Yangzhi is making great contribution to the LUR project.

Kevin, Doug and Tri visited on September

During 13th ~18th of September, Prof. Kevin Jones from Lancaster University and Mr. Douglas Booker from National Air Quality Testing Services Ltd visited us to kick off our cooperative UK-Guangdong Urban-Innovation project “Intraurban air pollution exposure prediction: a smart platform and applications using land-use regression (LUR) model”. Other participant organizations of this project include Guangdong Environmental Monitoring Centre (Dr Chen Duohong,陈多宏高工) and  Guangzhou Bojin Information Technology Co Ltd.(Dr Feng Bin,冯斌总经理)

Meanwhile, we also have Prof. Tri Manh Tran from Vietnam National University (VNU University of Science) visited us to discuss our potential cooperation under the framework of the Southern Contaminants Programme (SCP).

All these discussions facilitate our mutual understanding and we look forward to a fruitful collaboration!
