The China–Sri Lanka Joint Center for Education and Research (CSL-CER), one of the nine overseas institutions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), releases its introduction video recently.
The center, founded in August 2015, is a joint research organization supported by China and Sri Lanka focusing on the Indian Ocean.
The Indian Ocean is the third-largest ocean and is thus very important in oceanographic research. The Indo-Pacific warm pool is the energy center of the world’s oceans, where the strongest global mass and energy exchanges occur. The tremendous thermal potential of the Indo-Pacific warm pool has an important impact on climate variability in Southeast Asia and serves as a major source for low-frequency dynamic wave trains, as well as the ‘bridge’ influence of the tropical Indian Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean on the East Asian monsoon, a phenomenon controlling disasters such as drought, flooding, and typhoons in China, and regulating global climate change.
CSL-CER has conducted a series of research activities, including an annual scientific expedition to the eastern Indian Ocean, with many kinds of instruments installed for monsoon and ocean observation.
The new technology developed by Wuhan Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, allows water hyacinths to be controlled and shifted into organic fuel, according to Wang Qingfeng, deputy director of the garden. As a biogeochemist, Lucienne paid close attention to the ...
Kenya's education ministry and China's top scientific think-tank on Thursday in Nairobi signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to promote cooperation in the areas of science, research and innovation.
