Kick-off workshop for biomass burning project

The Kick-off workshop for the Indo-China Peninsula NSFC Key Project on biomass burning (20150122-23)

The key project on buomass burning and its environmental impact funded by NSFC was domestically kicked-off on the workshop held in GIGCAS on the 22nd-23rd of January. The project will last for 5 years, with an internaitonal team from Thailand, UK, Swiss and China. The domestic participants include members from Wuhan University, Institute of Geochemistry in Guiyang, Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone. The workshop aimed at shaping the major tasks and technical arrangements for the project, as well as its appropriate natual extension to maximize the project’s impact. The abstract of the project is as below.

【Emission and regional impact of organic pollutants from biomass burning in Indo-China Peninsula】 Regional biomass burning injects enormous amount of gasses and particles into the atmosphere. It is regarded as an important biogeochemical processes even at global scale, and poses significant impact on regional atmospheric environment. The Indo-China Peninsula (Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia) is one of the typical regions where large scale biomass burning activities take place, characteristic of widespread burning area, concentrated burning season, and various burning types. The emission may affect the vast region of West Pacific including the southern China coastal length. The peninsula has been a research hotspot for biomass burning emission research. The proposed project aims at a comprehensive study on the emission of carbonaceous aerosols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and typical persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from biomass burning in the peninsula, by integrating open biomass burning experiments, regional passive air sampling, station-based active air sampling, inorganic and organic markers and numeric models etc. In particular, novel passive atmospheric samplers and unique technique for radiocarbon analysis of carbon species in aerosols, as well as compound-specific radiocarbon analysis of PAHs, will be employed to effectively apportion the biomass burning contribution to regional air pollution. The emission mechanisms, chemical compositions, spatial-temporal distribution and environmental impact of biomass burning emission from the Indo-China peninsula will be investigated; the pathways for long-range atmospheric transport of this biomass burning emission towards the southern China coastal region will be elucidated and its impact range and extent being assessed.

POPs forum 2014

POPs forum 2014 in Kunming (May 17-19 2014)

ga_2014_pops1Liu Xin was awarded best PhD student presentation of the forum. Professor Yu Gang (left 1) was the dean of Environmental College of Tsinghua University. He initiated the forum. He obtained his BSc in Department of Chemistry, Nanjing University in 1986.

ga_2014_pops21Liu Xin and Zhang Gan attended the POPs forum-2014 held in Kunming on May 17 2014. The POP Forum is an annual event organized by Professor Yu Gang of Tsinghua University, and sponsored by MEP.

ga_2014_pops31We met the two PhD students from CUG who are working with Professor Qi Shihua and had experienc in working in our group shortly.

ga_2014_pops41Liu Xin gave a presentation over the student’s forum.

ga_2014_pops51The student forum was organized excellently.

ga_2014_pops61Professors Pan Bo (right, 潘波) and Pan Xuejun (潘学军）were deans of the Schooll of Environment of Qunming Institute of Technology (昆明理工大学）。They are the local host of the Fourm.

Visiting Lanzhou University

Visiting Lanzhou University and Gan-Nan (甘南）

(2014.8.19-24)

ga_2014_lu11Zhang Gan and Li Jun visited Prof Ma Jianmin （马健民, left 2）and Gao Hong（高宏, left 1）at Lanzhou University. Jianmin is a briliant modeller in POPs and air research. The two gorups have a long history of cooperation.

ga_2014_lu22We gave talks there and appreciate Prof Ma’s help in writing the NSFC Key proposal which we have successfully secured this year, on biomass burning in Indo-China peninsula. Prof Ma was also Xu Yue’s supervisor when she was in Canada.

ga_2014_lu44I searched the web to identify the famous so-called Ge-Sang-Hua (格桑花）. Narrowly defined it maybe this one. But actually in Tibetan, Ge-Sang refers to all beautiful followers.

ga_2014_lu55Most people simply refers this Ba-Ban-Mei (八瓣梅）as Ge-Sang-Hua.

ga_2014_lu66The group is measuring and planning to enhance the air plane to be able to be used for POPs sampling in the sky.

ga_2014_lu77ZHang Ran was very happy to be so close to the air plane.

ga_2014_lu88Labrang Monastery （拉卜楞寺）is the highest ‘University’ for Tibetan Buhdism. It mimics, according to my observation, an education system of Oxford-U or Cambridge-U, where colleges are the core units.

ga_2014_lu99Langmu Temple （郎木寺）is at the very south of Gansu province bordering SiChuan.
