Research topics from publications: Characteristics of Atmospheric Small Ions and Their Application to Assessment of Air Quality in a Typical Semi-Arid City of Northwest China; Regional groundwater cycle patterns and renewal capacity assessment at the south edge of the Junggar Basin, China. Representative work: Observations of atmospheric air ions at most geographic areas have been undertaken, but there are still very few observations at middle-latitude semi-arid areas throughout the world. To quantify characteristics of small air ions in semi-arid areas of China, measurements of small air ions and particulate matter (PM10) were conducted at 16 different sites in Xi'an (34°26′N, 108°94'E), China, from August 2009 to July 2010 along with meteorological parameters. The influences of meteorological parameters and PM10 concentration on small air ions as well as their influence mechanisms were discussed in detail. The results showed that both spatial and temporal distributions of small ions were uneven
