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.

The application and development of digital twin in the marine domain has been published in the journal Ocean.

With the gradual shift of marine resource development towards large-scale and deep-sea exploration, traditional analytical and simulation techniques are no longer able to meet the growing demands of users. Digital twin (DT) technology offers a potential solution to address these challenges in the marine domain. This study focuses on DT technology for marine applications,  providing  a  detailed  discussion  on  the  concept,  application  framework,  key  technologies,  and  future developments in the marine DT (MDT) field. A systematic review of relevant literature on MDT was conducted using the Web of Science database, analyzing the research focuses within this field. This study proposes a definition for MDT and presents a five-layer application framework, including the perception layer, data layer, model layer, fusion layer, and application layer. Key technologies for MDT are summarized, with a particular emphasis on data collection and transmission, data storage and management, modeling and simulation, and monitoring analysis and evaluation techniques, along with their applications in the marine  domain.  The  future  prospects  of  MDT  are  discussed,  and  the  construction  and  application  of  a  DT  platform  are demonstrated using marine engineering as an example. Furthermore, potential challenges in the development of MDT are analyzed, and possible solutions are proposed.

Note: I am the first author of the paper, Professor Zhang Jianmin is the corresponding author, and the authors also include doctoral student Liu Yi. The research results were supported by Guangdong Basic and Applied Basic Research Foundation.

The paper "Fukushima Contaminated Water Risk Factor: Global Implications" has been published in the international journal Environmental Science & Technology. 

The discharge of contaminated water from Fukushima poses a comprehensive threat to the global marine ecosystem and human health. Currently, discussions on the risks of discharging the contaminated water from Fukushima mostly lack quantitative indicators and fail to comprehensively consider various factors. To address these deficiencies, we innovatively proposed the Fukushima Contaminated Water Risk Factor (FCWRF), which integrates the risks of radionuclide diffusion, bioaccumulation, and global seafood trade to quantitatively assess the risks of discharging the contaminated water into the sea. The results show that the measurable comprehensive risk will spread to six continents around the world, and the diffusion of this comprehensive risk will be six times faster than that driven by ocean currents. FCWRF bridges the gap between different fields of radioactive nuclide risk assessment and provides support for timely and effective global response measures. Additionally, we have developed a visualization website for the dynamic database of the spatiotemporal distribution of FCWRF, named "Fukushima Risk", and made it available globally. This website visually presents the spatiotemporal evolution process of the global distribution of FCWRF and provides users with channels to select, view, and download the data they are concerned about. 

The Environmental Science & Technology Journal is a top-tier publication in both the JCR and the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Engineering Technology category 1, with an impact factor of 10.8. Professor Zhang Jianmin and I are the corresponding authors of the paper, while the first author is doctoral student Liu Yi, with Li Yilin and Min Yantao as co-authors. The research was funded by the Guangdong Provincial Basic and Applied Basic Research Foundation, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Liao Shan Laboratory.
