The ICPO has been very active in promoting CLIVAR science and activities for the scientific community in China. The ICPO staff have already visited several Chinese institutions http://www.clivar.org/news/icpo-visits-chinese-institutions.
Last week, the ICPO hosted Prof. Detlef Stammer, SSG co-chair, and this presented the ideal opportunity to further engagement with Chinese colleagues from the three main oceanographic institutions in Qingdao: the First Oceanography Institute (FIO), the Ocean University of China (OUC), and the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS).
A workshop was organised at FIO, which was well attended by researchers, young scientists and students from those three institutions. Prof Stammer gave a presentation on CLIVAR’s Research Focus on Regional Sea Level Change and Coastal Impacts. Prof Lixin Wu (OUC), a CLIVAR SSG member, talked on the Challenges in Ocean Observation and Prediction. Dr Zexun Wei (FIO) gave a presentation on behalf of Dr Fangli Qiao, CLIVAR OMDP member, on FIO’s modeling activities. Other speakers presented CLIVAR panels’ activities.
