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.

William Arko visit the group

William visited the group on Jan 3-5. William met us at a workshop organized by Lancaster University, in Accra, Ghana in last March. He then decided to pursue his PhD degree in our group. William has been a technical officer in the Water Research Institute (WRI) of Commonwealth Science and Industry Research (CSIR) of Ghana (加纳). He was successfully enrolled in China Geosciences University at Wuhan, with the help from Professor Qi Shihua(祁士华). He will spend his first year in Wuhan for classes, then join us in Guangzhou for research. On this visit, he gave a talk introducing himself on group meeting on Jan 4th. In the meantime, we had time to gather at night of the 3rd for a beer on the waterfront of the Pearl River, and the 4th at Hutaoli (胡桃里)pub. Willaim will go back to Ghana for sampling in the coming winter holiday.

ATMSYC workshop and visits at wuhan

On June 20-22, Shizhen, Li Jun, Jin Biao and Gan paid a visit to Wuhan. Xu Yue joined.

We first attended a workshop held by ATMSYC on the prioritization and list of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) for nation-wide control in China, which is a major task of ATMSYC. The discussions and ideas came with the workshop has been very successful and useful in the following name-listing job. One consensus is that we would provide 3 HAPs lists, one for nation-wide major source emission control, one for environmental health study/assessment in cities, and one as a need-to-care ‘theoretical’ list. The hostresses of the workshop, Professors Wang Youjie (王友洁) and Mei Surong (梅素容) invited us a feast welcome with Creyfish (小龙虾) in the famous ‘Liang-liang-zheng-xia’ (靓靓蒸虾) restaurant at Hankou (汉口). 

On the next day, we payed a short trip in Wuhan University to see the landmark historic buildings of the university, guided by Hairong. Very memorable! We then went to China University of Geosciences (CUG) to meet Professor Qi Shihua (祁士华) and his team. We talked about potential joint collection of groundwater in the Jianghan plain (江汉平原)for a multiple purposes study on PFCs and DBC etc.  Shizhen was happy to see Xing Xinli (邢新丽) and her son who she met in Lancaster.  We also visited a source emission test lab by Professor Kong Shaofei (孔少飞), which was well established and looks impressive.

It has been 2 busy days, but indeed quite fruitful and enjoyable!

What year was it? The ‘old’ library.
