Where: Meeting Room 8th, Conference Building, Weijin Road Campus

Lecturer: Fu Pingqing

About the Lecturer: Organic aerosols are ubiquitous in the earth’s atmosphere. They account for up to 50-80% of the fine aerosol mass, and potentially control the physicochemical properties of atmospheric particles. During the past decade, organic aerosols are highlighted because they are important environmental issues related to global and regional climate, chemistry of the atmosphere, global biogeochemical cycling, and human health. Professor Pingqing Fu’s research interests include the study of the sources, formation processes and long-range transport of organic aerosols in the urban, rural, remote marine and Polar Regions. He mainly focuses on secondary organic aerosols (SOA) from the photooxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), which are emitted from terrestrial vegetation and marine biological activities. Specially, he would like to present his measurements on the organic molecular composition and stable C isotope ratios of atmospheric aerosols from urban and rural regions, and marine organic aerosols that are influenced by a combination of long-range transported continental aerosols and by the sea-to-air emission of marine organics.
