Meet with Karu

On June 15th afternoon, we met Dr Karu of Peradeniya University of Sri Lanka, for research updating and a discussion about a new ANSO proposal. Huanfang gave a presentation updating the CKDu ancient water tank (AWT) results, which is fascinating. We want to work on more sediment cores and more analytes to further confirm the story. We then had a discussion on possible topic for the new ANSO proposal which will be submitted in mid July from the Sri Lankan side. Li Jun, Guangcai, Huanfang attended the meeting; Shizhen chaired the meeting. It is wonderful to meet old friend again, although online.

Closing of the ATMSYC program

On Jan 19 morning,  the final evaluation of the ATMSYC program (2017YFC0212000) took place at XiJiao Hotel （西郊宾馆）in Beijing.  Gan reported the major achievements of the 4 year program in 40 minutes. The assessment panel members highly praised the success of the program. Shizhen and Professor Ma Jianmin of Peking University joined the final report, irrespective of the unpromising  COVID-19 situation in Haidian of Beijing.  It took 4 years before the final evaluation/closure of the ATMSYC. It has been a long journey, with rich experience, lots of challenges, and many happiness and friendship !    (PS: the final score came out to be 89.)

I took this picture on the plane back, to note a leisure after the 4-year ATMSYC journey.
