On 25th Feb 2015, Dr. Cui Chen has visited Hubei Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (HRAES) in Wuhan China. Three topics were the major focus regarding the future cooperation:

1) HRAES is very interested in the Environmental Modeling software OpenGeoSys (www.opengeosys.org) and would like to take some OGS courses in the near future. The idea is that, by using OGS, they want to do the 3D visualization for the Danjing Reservoir which is the major water resources transferred from South to North China for the Water Divison Program. They want to simulate the reservoir as dynamic lake and its 3D visualization for the lake modeling. This is part of a sub project in the context of Mega Water Program in China.

2) Try to get the financial support from the Hubei Ministry of Environental Protection for an international cooperation project in the context of Chinese Water Division Program. The major research area will be the Hanjiang River basin, which are the major water resources for the Water Division Program. In this proposal, the impact of the Water Division Program on the water environment, such as the Water quantity, water quality (such as the algal blooms) will be carefully studied.

3) International funding possibility for the project inside Hubei province is discussed.

From 19th to 21th October 2015, Saxony delegation and entrepreneurs travel in Beijing, Wuhan, Chongqing China, under the guidance of Minister of State Thomas Schmidt (Saxon State Ministry for Environment and Agriculture). Hubei province is the Saxony’s partner since 2007.

The delegation has visited Hubei Environmental Protection Bureau (MPB, Hubei), changjiang water resources commission, Hubei provincial government and Hubei Province agriculture department.

The delegation visit was organized in the cooperation with the Saxony State Ministry for Environment and Agriculture (SMUL), the Saxony Economic Development Corporation and the Educational Institute of Saxon economy and this is regarded as an important activity to strengthen the cooperation of CAWR, RCEIS and the federal state of Saxony.

On 22 October, 2015, Prof. Olaf Kolditz and Dr. Cui Chen have visited the Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics (IRSM), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan.

Prof. Qi Li has presented his recent research in the area of CO2 storage and utility. Prof. Kolditz has given a lecture about “Challenges in Geosciences” for the students and staff in the institute. They have met Prof. Xia-Ting Feng from IRSM and discussed about the possible cooperation in geothermal engineering. They also visited the IRSM-SKL laboratory, mainly sections related with Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS).
