The University of Helsinki and the Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) have concluded a cooperation agreement to build a SMEAR station in Beijing.
According to the University of Helsinki, the contract includes a significant sum of funding from China. The agreement was concluded in conjunction with Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipilä’s trip to China.
The University of Helsinki previously built a similar station in Nanjing. A research group, led by professor Markku Kulmala, seeks to construct a global network of SMEAR (Station for Measuring Ecosystem Atmosphere Relations) superstations. The stations are field laboratories, measuring matter and energy flows between the atmosphere, soil and vegetation.
The first station was built in Finland in 1991. In addition to China and Finland, there are SMEAR stations currently under construction in Russia and Estonia.
