A new study led by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed that warming of about 2°C could actually enhance the GHG sink in Arctic permafrost. However, that gain is largely canceled out by a weakening of the carbon sink in alpine permafrost regions.
A research team led by Prof. WU Qingbai from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified important non-temperature environmental factors contributing to permafrost degradation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
A research team led by Prof. WU Rongchang from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international partners, has presented a comprehensive δ¹³Corg sequence spanning the upper Lower to lower Upper Ordovician. Derived from the Hule-1 core in the Jiangnan slope of South China, the study fills a critical knowledge void by documenting the Middle Darriwilian Isotopic Carbon Excursion (MDICE) in the δ¹³Corg record.
Led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a new international study has provided farmers and policymakers with a roadmap to grow maize—one of the world's most vital crops—in a way that balances high productivity with planetary health.
Researchers from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators discovered and analyzed a large pipe swarm—a cluster of cylindrical geological structures—with remnants of hydrogen hydrothermal activity on the east Caroline Plate, west of the Mussau Trench.
A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Binbin from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a superhydrophobic composite coating with mechanical stability and long-term anti-corrosion performance by utilizing recycled tire rubber particles as armored skeleton structure.
