Dong’ao Island workshop

On July the 10-11th, Shizhen, Jun and Gan joined a joint workshop between SYS-U, Institute of Tropical Forestry (ITF，热林所) and GIG. We also investigated potential air sampling sites on the small Dong’ao island（东澳岛）. It takes about 40 minutes to ferry from Zhuhai to the island. The trip was organized by Professor Chen Jianyao（陈建耀） of SYS-U and his team. Professors Zou Shichun （邹世春）of SYS-U, Zhou Guangyi （周光益）and Wang Xu （王旭）of ITF participated the event. Gan gave a talk on radiocarbon applications in delineating carbon dynamics on the Earth’s surface. It was extremely hot with strong sunshine. However, we quite a lot enjoyed the beautiful island scenery as guided by local government officers， especially being looked after by Dr Zhao Xinfeng（赵新锋）of Zhuhai Environmental Monitoring Centre.  Per embankment Zhuhai, we had chance to enjoy a big feast prepared by Haoyu, with all group members of Professor Zou Shichun’s group in SYS-U. A nice trip!

ANSO、SCP、合作交流

A Sri Lanka update

On June 25th-July 2nd,  the team of four, Shizhen, Jun, Guangcai and Gan, restarted international travels after the long-lasting COVID-19. We first visited Sri Lanka to promote our ANSO MOROTOXA program.  We left via Shanghai therefore we were able to pay a short visit to Lin Tian (林田、赵祯）et al. at Shanghai Ocean University where we also met Yingjun (陈颖军） and Prof Guo Zhigang （郭志刚）of Fudan University who joined thegathering.  We arrived at Colombo in the evening of June the 26th, returned to Kunming on July 2 morning.  In Kandy, We met Professor Karu and his colleagues with great pleasure; and visited the Postgraduate Institute of Sciences (PGIS) and the Sino-Sri Lankan Joint Centre for Research and Education at Peradeniya University. Shizhen and Jun demonstrated setting up the active sampler. Gan delivered presentations on the CKDu water tank sediment core study results, which attracted great attention, and the background of our ANSO MORATOXA program, of which Peradeniya University has been a partner. We had chance of cause to visit at the weekend several historic and natural attractions of Sri Lanka; and celebrated cheerfully at Trincomalee Shizhen’s  birthday. A wonderful trip!

Lunar explore

Returning the lunar regolith sample

On June the 12th afternoon, the team of three, Guangcai, Shizhen and Gan escort the lunar regolith sample back to China Lunar and Deep Space Expenditure headquarter (中国月球与深空探测中心） at Beijing. We applied the regolith sample (6,000 mg) for searching organic matters on the moon. We are proud that important progress has been, quite likely, made! We hope to announce our findings soon this year, despite huge amount of work in laboratory are still needed for more stories. I would like to record more pictures of this memorial moment.
