Researchers Discover A New Species of Razor Clams from South China Sea

Species are the fundamental units of taxonomy. The formation of new species is the basis for the emergence and development of a new gene pool, which directly contributes to an increase in biodiversity.

Study Reveals Weathering History of Western Pacific Island Arc Over the Past 140,000 Years

The tropical western Pacific island arc is dominated by basalt-ultrabasic basalts. Under the combined influence of the suitable climate (high temperature and strong precipitation) in the tropical warm pool area and the steep elevation drop of the ...

Airborne Interferometric Radar Altimeter Shows Potential for Submesoscale SSHA Measurements

To date, humanity has not been able to observe two-dimensional (2D) oceanic processes at the 0.1-10 km submesoscale in the spatial domain through remote sensing. The sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) signal at this scale is small and exceeds the r...

Novel Fabrication Technique Takes Transition Metal Telluride Nanosheets from Lab to Mass Production

Altered Oceanic Crust Can Contribute to Arc Magmas

As an important subduction component, altered oceanic crust (AOC) is widely distributed on the oceanic subducting slab and potentially has significant contributions to the chemistry of arc magmas.

Researchers Use Novel Method to Calculate Ocean Heat Content in Indo-Pacific Convergence Zone

The oceans primarily absorb the imbalance in Earth's energy caused by human-induced greenhouse gases. However, current ocean heat content (OHC) measurements don't fully close the global energy budget.
