NAEO revisited

On September 27-29, a group of us (Li Jun, Shizhen and Gan) paid anotrher visit to Ningbo Atmospheric Environment Observatory (NAEO) first setup by the group from 2008.  Chen Yingjun, from Shanghai, and Zhang Yanlin, form Nanjing, came to meet with us for a dinner together in Ningbo.  The NAEO was first setup by Zhang Yanlin, and then built by Liu Xiang and Li Jun. It has been taken care of by the ‘Shen brothers’ who have been very professional to keep the station running for 12 years! The facility needs another round of refurbishing.    Besides, we also visited the famous Tiyige (天一阁)in the city, which is an ancient library, amazing.

A successful trip to Sri Lanka in October 2017

Dilanka, Liu Xin, Zhao Shizhen, and Zhong Guangcai had a trip to Sri Lanka from Oct. 22-30, 2017. We met our old friends from University of Ruhuna in Matara and new friends from University of Peradeniya in Kandy. We established collaboration on passive air sampling, mussel sampling, and sewage plant water sampling for a Southern Contaminants Programme (SCP), which is based on international collaboration and funded by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) as part of its Belt & Road Initiatives. We discussed further cooperation in other aspects in the future.
