A research team led by Prof. XU Yongsheng from the Institute of Oceanology has obtained the two-dimensional sea surface height anomaly of about 100 km along the track and the first broadband SSHA wavenumber spectrum using Airborne Interferometric Radar Altimeter observations.
Prof. KANG Shichang's research team from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources conducted extensive monitoring of BC in Mingyong Glacier under Meili Snow Mountain and analyzed its source and climate impact using the regional climatic chemical coupling model WRF-Chem.
An international team led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics has highlighted emerging features associated with many of the climate and weather extremes of 2023, including heat extremes occurring earlier in the year and increasingly simultaneously in different parts of the world.
To gain insights into the evolution and diversity of this intricate biomineralized columnar architecture, researchers led by Dr. ZHANG Zhiliang from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology examined exquisitely well-preserved fossils of some of the oldest families of linguliform brachiopods, providing new fossil evidence for understanding the biomineralization process and adaptive evolution of the ancestral brachiopod taxa of the Early Cambrian.
A recent study shows that western Central Asia has experienced a long-term drying trend over the past 7,800 years. This discovery, based on the analysis of a stalagmite from the Fergana Valley in Kyrgyzstan, adds a critical piece to the understanding of westerly-influenced hydroclimatic patterns in Central Asia.
Prof. HUANG Yuanyuan from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research and ZHANG Ganlin from the Institute of Soil Science found a whopping 2,305 billion tons of carbon stored as SIC in the top two meters of soil worldwide, which is more than five times the carbon found in all of the world's vegetation combined. This hidden pool of soil carbon could be key to understanding how carbon moves around the globe.
