ESSP, wall eye knee

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

The second and third day in ESSP.
essp, session 22
Parellel Session 22. 平行会议22,老板在讲,下面的我们,以及一楼的Posters

Journal to Great Wall
A journal to Great Wall. 八达岭长城部分,注意,那三个字是启功先生的。现在来看,奥运会的气氛已经越来越浓了,旁边的鸟巢和水立方已见雏形,一路上还看见一些体育场所(自行车场馆),八达岭长城上面大大的One World,One Dream的牌子还是很吸引目光的。

I think you will be puzzled about my poster title. The three key works are wall, eye and knee, which are important in climbing the Great Wall. The high wall guard the old empire. When you climb the wall, you will keep your eyes watching the wonderful views and your knees will shake because of the craggedness of road (How hard a horse climb such road with heavy things). In Chinese, the three words’ pronunciation is very close to “wo ai ni” (I LOVE YOU, in English). Interesting, right?

匆匆忙忙,总共才听了三个平行会议,不过收获了一大堆资料和发现了一堆差距,还有一些信息我还要查一下再写在后续的报道中。

ESSP会议第一天

ESSP

ESSP

感谢小明精彩的Poster设计

Poster部分十分精彩,有很多有启发性的工作;现场部分教授们都很牛,报告内容难度还是很高的。期望能在平行会议里面有好的收获,晚宴还要former suit和evening dress,回良玉副总理也有来,会议的级别真是高。

我只有说罗马会议的老外们事故不断,期望明天出租车司机能给R.K.教授找回钱包

Earth System

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

推荐一本书“The Earth System” (Second Edition)

The first book of its kind that addresses the issues of global change from a perspective of Earth as a system, The Earth System offers a solid emphasis on lessons from Earth history that may guide decision-making in the future. This book teaches global change and how it affects our environment. Modern topics covered by this comprehensive book are the atmosphere and global warming, the circulation of the oceans, plate tectonics, ecosystems, the origin of Earth and life, the rise of oxygen and ozone depletion, biodiversity, and climate stability. Because of its incredibly detailed appendices, tables, and suggestions for further reading, this will make an excellent reference work for geologists, oceanographers, meteorologists, and geographers.

确实很不错的一本书,原本以为只是一本综合自然地理一类的大部头,但是看了一两章之后,就发现确实有过人之处。作者Kump教授还很认真地回答email提出的问题。

最近非常忙碌,熬夜会不会带来秃顶啊。小明同学现在还在弄Poster,NDVI的摘要又停滞了,昨天还动员了一大堆同学帮我做翻译,对于rainbowrain同学精妙的翻译表示佩服,对于tsing竟然可以异常学术地翻译“人为的”为”anthropogenic”,并且以超级迅速的速度翻译最后还很没什么大不了的样子表示感谢,当然还有遥小望同学,竟然能在唱歌购物之后完成这个人物,我也只能说感激。

ESSP最后的考察是去长城,应该能赶上,距离上一次已经有7年了。

PS.为什么每次都是这几个人,观众们,我的交际面也就这样
