Wanzhe万喆 published his first paper ‘Research Progress and Future Perspectives on Soil Carbon Sources and Stability in Mangrove Forests ‘ (红树林土壤碳来源与稳定性研究进展与展望, in Chinese) in Earth and Environment 《地球与环境 》. It is a nice paper reviewing the mangrove forest carbon sources and stability. We highly recommend our research students to write review paper which could greatly integrate the knowledge and position the state-of-the-art understandings of their research area. Congratulations!
On April 9th, Wang Wanzhe completed his scientific expedition in the eastern Indian Ocean and arrived in Sanya, Hainan. For this expedition, he was aboard the R.V. Xiang Yang Hong 01, operated by the First Institute of Oceanography under the Ministry of Natural Resources. The voyage began on January 24th and concluded successfully on April 9th, lasting a total of 76 days. The research area covered the eastern Indian Ocean.
During the expedition, a variety of samples were collected, including atmospheric samples, seawater, rainwater, and seafloor sediments. These samples have now been safely transported back to the laboratory for further analysis.
For Wang Wanzhe, the expedition was not only a success in terms of collecting the planned samples, but also a valuable opportunity to broaden his academic horizons and make new friends. It was truly an unforgettable experience！

From January 20 to 21, 2025, Geng Xiaofei, Wang Wanzhe, and Shao Yingjian completed final preparations at the Nanshan Port Public Research Dock in Yazhou District, Sanya City, Hainan Province, for a scientific expedition to the Indian Ocean. The mission, aboard the R/V Xiangyanghong 01 (向阳红01) operated by First Marine Institute, Department of Natural Resources aims to collect critical atmospheric and seawater samples to advance understanding of marine carbon cycle and environmental fate of PFAS.
