THE FIRST SAMPLING CAMPAIGN OF THE GEOBBC PROGRAM

From 31 October to 1st November, we carried out the first sampling campaign of the GeoBBC program in Dongjiang River. The first sampling site is Huangtian Reservoir, Dongjiang River (Yihe Hydropower Station), where we collected 50 L of surface water and surface sediments. After that, we explored other sampling sites along the Dongjiang River for the preparation of the upcoming large-scale sampling. Participants including Prof. ZHANG GAN, Prof. LI JUN, Prof. ZHAO SHIZHEN, Prof. SUN YANMIN, HU ZHICHENG and GENG XIAOFEI, enjoyed this campaign very much. In addition to precious samples, we also harvested the pleasant scenery and graceful mood along the way. The jade-green bamboo grove, the snow-white reeds sea, our heart beguiles. The intoxicating scenery triggered Prof. Zhang’s poetic sentiment. There is an exquisite poem created by Prof. Zhang:
【东江初试】
秋风吹玉水,
苇絮躜沙汀。
塘坝山湾远,
轻舟陌岸横。
灵芝称小院,
喧竹挹江青。
忽报台风至,
忍兴启归程。

Wind-in-his-hair campaign on action

On Oct 10th, a small group of us went to the Heshan air monitoring supersite, to setup air sampling machines on the rooftop of the station building. This denotes that the field sampling campaign is on action, of which the objectives are to monitor and estimate the emissions of various pollutants (POM, POPs) and CO2  etc from the PRD city cluster, by means of down-wind observations and modeling. The name of the campaign, Wind-in-his-air (风中散发-Emission in the wind), is adapted from the name of an Indigenous Indian in the Oscar Academy-winning movie ‘Dances with Wolves’ (与狼共舞). The campaign is led by Shizhen, joined by Li Jing (modelling), Yao Chuxin (POM), Li Pingyang (CO2), and many of the Air-Omics squad members.  Occasionally, the wind field shifted to NNE from SE on the day, which is a sign of success.

Near-ground NNE wind started right on the day.
