This scientist primarily studies how materials are dissolved by microorganisms. At the Institute of Oceanology in Qingdao, he collaborates with local experts to find methods to inhibit biocorrosion and protect important infrastructure from damage.

　　桑德教授强调了全球变暖对基础设施的潜在影响，温度每升高10摄氏度，反应速度就会翻倍，这意味着随着气温上升，材料的腐蚀和退化将加剧，饮用水质量也可能受到影响。

　　Professor Sand emphasized the potential impact of global warming on infrastructure, noting that for every 10 degrees Celsius increase in temperature, the reaction velocity doubles. This means that as temperatures rise, the corrosion and deterioration of materials will intensify, and the quality of drinking water may also be affected.
