Strategically, this research can ensure the scientific basis for China's climate change policies and socio-economic decision-making, enhance China's ability to adapt to and combat climate change, and foster the development of predictive and early warning technologies that support socio-economic development.

Small Figure, Big Job: The Woman Engineer Holding up China's Giant Telescope

Growing up in a Kazakh family in northwest China, Guljaina Kazezkhan often spent her childhood summer nights lying on a carpet in the yard and gazing at the stars. Guljaina is one of the few female engineers working on the Qitai radio telescope project, which features a 110-meter-wide fully steerable aperture that will be the world's largest of its kind when completed in 2028. Located in a valley basin in Qitai County, the 6,000-tonne structure will scan the cosmos for pulsars, test Einstein's theories, and search for faint signals from distant galaxies.
