She stood on tiptoe, her gaze piercing through the crowd as she watched the slowly rising China’s national flag. Tears of excitement streamed down her cheeks. After more than 4,000 kilometres of travel from a small town near the Taklimakan Desert to Tian’anmen Square in the capital of China, the young girl witnessed the solemn scene described in her textbooks for the first time of her life.
The research, titled “Spatial heterogeneity in the formation of large deserts in midlatitude Asia revealed by drill core evidence”, was published in the Science Bulletin this month.
“The climatic and environmental effects of dust aerosols significantly impact the global climate, biogeochemical cycles, marine ecosystems and even the global carbon cycle,” Wang said. He added that the research contributes to a better understanding of the long-term environmental changes in the deserts, a crucial source of dust for the Northern Hemisphere.
“Unravelling the history of the desert and its climate impacts will provide insights into how desert systems may respond to future climate changes,” Wang said, adding that the team will continue studying the drill cores to gain further insights into the formation and evolution of these deserts.
For years, water scarcity and safety concerns have plagued the residents of Jiashi due to harsh natural conditions. However, thanks to completion of the project in 2020, some 460,000 people now have access to safe drinking water through newly constructed or renovated pipelines running for a total length of 1,827 kilometers.
“That is a fundamental victory,” Campbell said, adding that his country is also focusing on providing people with sanitary potable water and improving livelihoods in areas such as housing, education and food security.
“When we had the opportunity to see the water project here, we were very impressed,” he said, adding that Nicaragua can learn from China’s experience in this respect.
Campbell, who arrived in China in May as the Nicaraguan ambassador, has since visited not only Xinjiang but also Shandong and Hebei provinces, as well as Yiwu city, Zhejiang province. He intends to visit all 34 provincial-level regions in the country.
“Every single province has its own individuality. I think Xinjiang is wonderful and beautiful in its own way,” he said.
