Environmental analytical chemistry conference at Nanchong

On August 10-11, I was invited by Professors Ouyang Gangfeng (欧阳钢锋) of SYSU and Yang Xiupei (杨秀培) of Xihua Normal University (西华师范大学) to give a keynote speech on the 4th Conference of Environmental Analytical Chemistry at Nanchong (南充). I introduced our work on developing the radiocarbon analytical techniques for tracking carbonaceous species in the atmosphere. After the conference, as one of the standing committee members of Minmeng Party Guangdong Branch (民盟广东省委), I was arranged by Mr Ren Zhaogang (任兆刚) of XHNU to visit the memorial house of Mr Zhang Lan (张澜), who was one of the founders of Minmeng Party (民盟). The acting director of Nanchong Minmeng Party, Mr 唐虎鸣,  and his assistant 范虎 accompanied me during the visit.   It was a great trip, albeit the very hot weather in Nanchong! 

It was very hot.

Xiaofei’s new paper accepted by ES&T

Xiaofei’s new paper entitled ‘ Provenance of Aerosol Black Carbon over Northeast Indian Ocean and South China Sea and Implications for Oceanic BC Cycling‘ has been accepted for publication in ES&T; and was chosen as a supplementary cover story of the issue. Congratulations!

Image chosen for a supplementary cover story of the ES&T issue. The little Asian elephant was added as an element to represent the South and Southeast Asia, where the studied area was.

Figure 4. Source fractions (pie chart) and air mass back trajectories (colored lines) of aerosol black carbon (BC) in the dual-carbon isotope province of “SCS close to Chinese Mainland” (gray), “Open SCS” (green), “NEIO close to Southeast Asia” (blue), “Open NEIO” (light purple), “Malacca Strait” (pink) and “Sunda Strait” (orange). Air mass back trajectories in an isotope province share the same color. (SCS: the South China Sea; NEIO: the northeast Indian Ocean)
