Tectonophysics：Slip partitioning in the northeast Pamir-Tian Shan convergence zone[03 19, 2010]

Based on detailed analysis of satellite imagery combined with field geologic and geomorphic observations, we have mapped late Cenozoic folds and faults in the northeastern Pamir-Tian Shan convergence zone. It is a unique example to understand intracontinental ongoing mountain building within India-Eurasia collision ...

Astrophysical Journal：Supernovae Materials from the Qingzhen Enstatite Chondrite[03 08, 2010]

Meteorites are the "fossil" of the solar system, and the most primitive chondrites even preserve materials before the formation of the solar nebula, so called presolar grains. The presolar grains are micron to submicron-sized, and originated from various stars, including supernovae, red giant and asymptotic giant br...

R&D newsletter[03 05, 2010]

On January 29th, a delegation of 5 people from Statoil paid a visit to the Institute of Geology and Geophysics. The delegation was led by Ole Martinsen, Vice President of Exploration in Technology and New Energy, Statoil and Jens-Petter Kvarstein, Vice President, Head of Technology, Statoil China. The objective of t...

Boreas：An Improved PFT-MAT to Quantitativly Reconstruct Palaeoclimate in Arid and Semi-arid Regions[02 26, 2010]

Quantitative reconstruction of past climate is crucial to an understanding of climate mechanisms, and provides a means of defining model boundary conditions and of evaluating palaeoclimate simulations. In recent decades, transfer functions have been used to quantitatively reconstruct past environment from biological...

Int. Microbiol:Specific primers for the detection of freshwater alphaproteobacterial magnetotactic cocci.[02 08, 2010]

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are able to synthesize membrane-bound, nano-sized, and single-domain magnetite or greigite magnetosomes.

FEMS Microbiol:Temporal variation of magnetotactic bacterial communities in two freshwater sediment microcosms.[02 08, 2010]

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), which can mineralize nano-sized magnetite or greigite crystals within cells, play important roles in biogeochemical processes, e.g., iron and sulfur cycling, and depositional remanent magnetization acquisitions.

Computers&Geosciences：Quantifying lithospheric stretching process – 1D strain rate inversion[01 25, 2010]

Over the past 30 years, there has been considerable interest in the evolution of rifts and passive continental margins. A large number of major hydrocarbon provinces are associated with rifts and passive margins (White et al., 2003; Ziegler and Cloetingh, 2004). In order to understand the evolution of rifted basins,...

New Evidence of the Growth and Uplift of the Plateau Published in EPSL[01 15, 2010]

To evaluate the various models associated with the growth and uplift of the plateau, more geological records are needed. At present, the timing records of uplift associated with the India-Asia collision are majorly derived from the south-central Tibetan Plateau, However, the north Tibetan Plateau attract less attent...
