Congratulations to HK astronaut Dr Lai Ka-ying on participating in space mission

Lingnan University congratulates Dr Lai Ka-ying, the first payload expert from the Hong Kong SAR, on participating in the Shenzhou-23 crewed spaceflight mission, where she is expected to operate the Multi-Spectral Imaging Carbon Observatory (MUSICO), a space-based research instrument led by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).

Lingnan carbon emissions database supports MUSICO’s space-based greenhouse gas monitoring

Prof Li Jia, Director of the Lingnan University Shenzhen Research Institute (LUSZRI), and Associate Professor (Presidential Early Career Scholar) of the Wu Jieh Yee School of Interdisciplinary Studies (WJYSIS) at Lingnan University, together with her research team, has contributed key data from a carbon emissions source database for the project, which will be used to compare greenhouse gas data including carbon dioxide and methane emission sources observed by MUSICO, helping researchers identify emission intensity and distribution patterns of power and industrial facilities across different regions more accurately, thereby providing robust scientific support for China’s carbon-peaking and carbon-neutrality goals.
