Örjan Gustafsson and family visited Guangzhou

On October 28 to 31, Örjan Gustafsson visited the group. This is his second visit in the year of 2018. His family came along with him. Orjan had intensive discussions with Gan, Guangcai, Xiaofei, Yi Xin and Buqing. The visit push our collaboration much forward and made it more clearly. The advance of BPCA-based dual-carbon methodology and aerosol di-acids dual-carbon isotope methodology were highly appraised by Orjan. He also discussed with Junwen on the writing of the Malaysian Bachok Station radiocarbon paper. We went to Baiyun Mountain with his family for a nice excursion. And the kids had great first impression of Guangzhou, from the splendid Pearl River water front, to delicate vegetarian food in the ShiFangYuan restaurant. Anna, the little lovely beauty received a special gift from Gan and Liu Xin, which is a family portrait of her family in the PR waterfront. Wonderful memory.

Cordially Malaysia

On October 21-25, Liu Xin, Shizhen and Zhang Gan payed a fruitful visit to University of Malaya (UM) and University of Malaysia Terrengganu (UMT). In Terengganu, I gave a talk entitled ‘Fate of POPs in marine environment: from coastal to the open sea’, then we had a technical discussion with Dr Le Quang Dung (黎光勇) in UMT on the development of SCP in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam. We also had time slots for short visits to the beautiful sand beach, the crystal mosque,  as well as the China Town in Terrengganu. In Kuala Lampur, we were very happy to meet our long time collaborator/friends, Dr Bon Chui Wei (黄翠薇)and Professor Pauzi Zakaria. We agreed to upgrade the MoU between GIG and UM. It cannot be neglected as an important success that I received from Chui Wei a his-beloved new-version UM mug.

Dr Le (黎)is originated from Vietnam. He obtained his PhD in Tokyo University. We will work together on environmental health in Ho Chi Mihn City of Vietnam.

Let us talk about POPs in marine environment.
