26 November 2021, Discharge of treated Fukushima nuclear accident contaminated water: macroscopic and microscopic simulations has been published on National Science Review, which is a full affirmation of the students and teachers of the subject group who are generous and rigorous in their learning! NSR officer micro-push high-quality and efficient, reflecting China's outstanding leading journals of the super-class level! Thanks to the director of singhua University's Institute for Ocean Engineering (IOE), Zhang Jianmin's guidance and support, thanks to the editorial department and reviewers for their high evaluation!

The results of this study are of great significance for the prediction of long-term spread of pollutants, the rational response of nuclear wastewater discharge plans and the monitoring of subsequent radioactive material concentrations. In the future, we will continue to deepen our research, Further explore the long-term impact of the discharge of nuclear waste water on the whole ocean and mankind, and provide important decision support for the country and the world to deal with the nuclear wastewater crisis!

Note: National Science Review , whose impact factor in 2021 is 17.275, is the top journal in the multi-discipline domain. For more information, please see the introduction video.

Paper: Influence of Northwest Pacific Sea Surface Temperature on the South China Sea Winter Monsoon Based on Multimodel Projections have been published in the Journal International Journal of Climatology.

The South China Sea Winter Monsoon (SCSWM) plays a critical role in the regional climate and atmospheric circulation patterns. This study explores the long-term change in the SCSWM from 1979 to 2023, focusing on its connection to the inhomogeneous warming trends of the Northwest Pacific Sea Surface Temperature (NWP-SST). Using NOAA ERSSTv5 and ERA5 reanalysis data, we uncover a strong relationship between the anomalous northeasterly winds, especially the zonal component, in the South China Sea (SCS) and the NWP-SST during boreal winter. Singular value decomposition (SVD) reveals that the NWP-SST is experiencing substantial warming, which could modulate the SCSWM. Evaluating several CMIP6 models, we demonstrate their ability to simulate this relationship reasonably. Future projections under shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) 126, 245 and 585 indicate that NWP-SST inhomogeneous warming and the corresponding change in the monsoon will continue, especially under high-emission scenarios (SSP585). This study highlights the possible influence of ocean warming on the SCSWM, with potential far-reaching effects on the region's climate pattern.

Thesis: Ontology-based multi-source heterogeneous O&M data integration framework for tunnel structural health assessment has been published in the journal Structure and Infrastructure Engineering.

As a typical representative of infrastructure, tunnels are indispensable carriers for the normal operation of cities, with their safe and efficient operation directly influencing urban efficiency. However, the various data supporting tunnel operation and maintenance (O&M) exhibit significant diverse sources and structural differences, which pose substantial challenges to tasks such as tunnel structural health assessment. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an ontology-based multi-source heterogeneous O&M data integration framework to support the assessment of tunnel structural health, thereby improving decision-making efficiency in tunnel maintenance. The framework consists of four layers: data layer, ontology layer, mapping layer, and application layer, enabling the unified modeling, integration, and comprehensive application of multi-source heterogeneous tunnel O&M data. Additionally, the proposed framework is applied to a practical engineering project, the Tanglang Mountain Tunnel. Compared with existing methods, the framework demonstrates improvements in data fusion accuracy, data completeness, and operational efficiency.

Note: Structure and Infrastructure Engineering is a journal in the field of engineering technology in the Q2 zone, with an impact factor of 2.6. The first author of the paper is Liu Longxiang, a master's student, and I am the corresponding author.

On June 14th, the research group held a team-building activity aimed at bidding farewell to the graduating students and enhancing the team's cohesion at the same time.

This team-building activity was carefully planned and rich in content. At the beginning of the event, the members participated in an immersive live-action theater murder mystery game, engaging in team reasoning and competition among four camps, fully demonstrating their wisdom and spirit of collaboration. The evening dinner party was filled with a warm and lively atmosphere, interspersed with interactive games including those about teamwork and fun challenges, with laughter and joy never ceasing. At the end of the event, the graduates shared their unforgettable experiences in the team and expressed their gratitude. Everyone also presented them with graduation blessings and gifts. I also delivered a brief speech, thanking everyone for their hard work and expressing my beautiful expectations for the future development of the team.

This team-building activity not only relaxed both the body and mind but also strengthened the bonds among the members. The event concluded successfully with a group photo as a memento. The research group wishes the graduates a bright future!
