Farewell Dr. William Arko

On July 17, our dear friend William was about to leave China and return to his hometown of Accra. To bid him farewell, we gathered at the Sampling Building to capture many precious moments together. We also signed a farewell card filled with personal messages and heartfelt wishes, hoping that his journey ahead would be smooth and successful. Later in the evening, we held a warm  dinner party to celebrate the time we spent together. As a final gesture, we presented William with the group photo as a token of our memories. We heartedly wish him success in Ghana and happiness in all his future endeavors!

Junwen’s new paper accepted by PNAS

Junwen’s new paper ‘Substantial Reductions in Black Carbon from both Fossil Fuels and Biomass Burning during China’s Clean Air Action‘ has been accepted for publication in PNAS. It is a great success in the application of our AMS facility and OC/EC radiocarbon measurement system. Professor Yu Jianzhen (郁建珍) of Hong Kong University of Science & Technology collected the  precious 12-year samples; Jiang Fan (姜帆) did most of the radiocarbon analysis in the AMS lab and contributed to the writings. Congratulations!
