Representative Achievements

Prof. Pavel Talalay is an internationally renowned expert on polar drilling. He is renowned in the technical fields of polar glacier and subglacial bedrock coring drilling, permafrost drilling and submarine sediment sampling. He has conducted seven scientific expeditions to the Antarctic and Arctic, and has been engaged in the research of permafrost drilling and Antarctic ice drilling coring technology for many years. In 2010, at the invitation of Jilin University, he became a member of the College of Construction Engineering of Jilin University, and immediately began to establish the Polar Research Center of Jilin University. At present, the Polar Research Center has 39 staff members, including 7 professors, 18 doctoral students and 16 postgraduate students. In addition, there are 6 teachers and 5 engineers working in the center. Polar Research Center currently has a laboratory of 300㎡ and has developed a lot of large-scale scientific research equipment.  

He prepared and trained the drilling team for the deep ice core drilling project in Dome A Kunlun Station, Antarctica, our team drilled 800 meters of ice cores, It is the most complete and high-quality ice core ever obtained by Dome A.And the IBEDS test drilling was carried out in the ice sheet near Zhongshan Station in Antarctica, and the continuous ice core and subglacial bedrock samples were obtained by drilling through the ice sheet. The ice core of 198m and subglacial bedrock core of 6cm were drilled, that made China the third country to obtain subglacial bedrock samples from Antarctica.

He has published more than 50 papers (25 SCI indexed papers), obtained more than 20 patents, and published 2 monographs.  In September 2014, he was awarded the "Friendship Award" by the Chinese government for his outstanding achievements.
