We are proud to announce the successful disputation of our SICSS member Xiaoqin Shi.
Her dissertation "The dynamical behavior of boundary layer ozone in winter" was supervised by Prof. Dr. Jürgen Oßenbrügge (Universität Hamburg), Prof. Dr. Guy P. Brasseur (Max-Planck-Institut für Meteorologie).
Xiaoqin investigated the winter ozone in the polluted urban area of Beijing in China. She found that the transport of background ozone greatly influences the concentrations of winter ozone in Beijing and the continuous air pollution control there has inevitably caused the increasing ozone trend in winter.
She was a member of the Environmental Modelling group in Max Planck Institute for Meteorology.
Qin’s future plans?
In the future she will start her first postdoc job in China.
