應焦念志教授邀請,美國歐道明大學教授Kenneth Mopper將于2015年7月14日(下周二)來訪廈大翔安,并召開研討會。研討會將于14日上午10:00正式開始,現邀請學院老師、同學們積極參加研討會。謝謝!
概要: Progress in aquatic environmental chemistry (as well as other fields) is often limited by the lack (or insensitivity) of current analytical methods. However, once developed, these new tools can open up new areas of research and/or allow previously intractable questions to be addressed. As an example, I will show how the analysis of photochemically formed LMW carbonyl compounds (e.g., formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone) and organic acids (e.g., pyruvic acid) was used to gain new insights into aquatic C-cycling and food web dynamics.
Mopper教授的現研究領域主要有:Dr. Mopper’s current research areas include the impact of photo-chemical processes on oceanic and global carbon cycling, the study of free radicals (e.g., hydroxyl radicals) and stable species (e.g., hydrogen peroxide) and their reactions in natural waters, the composition and origin of dissolved organic matter in the sea, the characterization of humic substances in natural waters, the production of surface active polysaccharides by organisms and their role in surface microlayer and particle formation in natural waters, and the development/adaptation of analytical techniques for trace organics, total and dissolved organic carbon, and photo-chemically formed species in natural waters.
