At the invitation of Professor Ma Jianmin and Professor Gao Hong from the College of Earth and Environmental Sciences of Lanzhou University and Key Laboratory of Environmental Pollution Early Warning and Control, Researcher Xie Zhiyong from Helmholtz Center for Coastal Research, Germany, came to our university and gave an academic report on July 18, 2023.
Reporter: Researcher Xie Zhiyong, Helmholtz Center for Coastal Research, Germany
Title: Novel Organic Pollutants in Marine and Polar Environments
Moderator: Professor Gao Hong, College of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Lanzhou University
Time: July 18, 2023 (Tuesday), 9:30 AM.
Venue: Guanyun Building 1009
Expert Profile:
Xie Zhiyong, Researcher and Doctoral supervisor at Helmholtz Centre for Coastal Research, Germany, and Vice-chairman of the Working Group on Persistent Organic Pollutants (ImPACT) of the Antarctic Science Committee (https://www.scar.org/). He has long been working on the environmental and biogeochemical behavior of conventional and novel organic pollutants in different environmental media. He has participated in many scientific expeditions to the South and Arctic and has made remarkable achievements in research on the persistence and long-range transport mechanisms of organic pollutants in coastal zone, marine, and polar environments. Doctor Xie Zhiyong is an international leader in the study of global novel pollutants (perfluorinated compounds, novel brominated and phosphorous flame retardants, and currently used pesticides, as well as pharmaceuticals and personal care products) in the coastal-oceanic-polar regions. Application of multi-media modeling to elucidate the biogeochemical cycling of emerging organic pollutants in the polar regions as a result of climate change and enhanced human activities.
Researcher Xie Zhiyong has published more than 100 papers in journals such as Environmental Science and Technology and Journal of Geophysical Research, with nearly 5,800 citations and an H-factor of 47.
