A research team led by Prof. LONG Hao from the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, drilled a 300.8-meter-long lacustrine sediment core in the Datong Basin of Shanxi Province, located in mid-latitude East Asia (Northern China). By reconstructing over 5.7 million years of Earth's history, the researchers revealed that the "waviness" of the Westerly Jet Stream is the primary driver of mid-latitude climate variability.
A team of scientists from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciencesrecently conducted a 50-year simulation of the Martian dust cycle using the Global Open Planetary Atmospheric Model for Mars (GoMars). This new modelcanpredict key characteristics of the Martian dust cycle and global-scale dust storms.
A team of researchers led by Prof. DU Zhixue from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered that substantial amounts of water could have been efficiently "locked away" deep within the mantle as it crystallized from a molten state.
A team of researchers led by the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with colleagues from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the University of Bristol, and Nanjing University, has identified the primary non-environmental factors controlling Lithium-to-Magnesium ratio (Li/Mg) fractionation.
A new study has revealed that rapid, large-scale day-to-day temperature fluctuations have intensified amid global warming, representing a distinct climate hazard with impacts on human health. This growing volatility creates a weather pattern akin to a "climate roller coaster," exposing populations to more frequent and sharp shifts between temperature extremes.
A research team led by Prof. SUN Chaomin from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has unveiled the crucial role of viruses in deep-sea carbon cycling and microbial community structure.
