Solubility of aqueous methane under the metastable conditions: Implications for gas hydrate nucleation[07 12, 2013]

Professor GUO Guangjun and his team measure methane solubility under metastable conditions using molecular dynamics simulations to understand the prenucleation stage of methane hydrate formation.
  Three factors that influence solubility are con...

Effects of cage type and adsorption face on the cage-methane adsorption interaction: Implications for hydrate nuc...[07 09, 2013]

Ph.D. student LIU Chanjuan and her teacher GUO Guangjun investigate how the cage type and adsorption face affect the potential of mean force (PMF) for hydrate nucleation.
  They find that cage types have almost no effect on the interaction, exce...

A High-Order Fast-Sweeping Scheme for Calculating First-Arrival Travel Times with an Irregular Surface[07 05, 2013]

Ph. D. student LAN Haiqiang and his teacher ZHANG Zhongjie present a high-order fast-sweeping scheme to solve the Topography-dependent eikonal equation (TDEE) with the aim of achieving high-order accuracy in the travel-time calculation.
  The sc...

Partial melting of lower crust at 10-15 kbar: constraints on adakite and TTG formation[06 27, 2013]

Vice Professor QIAN Qing and his team present the results of partial melting experiments at 10–15 kbar and 800–1,050℃ on a synthetic, trace element doped starting material resembling the lower crust compositions of Rudnick and Gao (2003) and Co...

Asynchronous marine-terrestrial signals of the last deglacial warming in East Asia associated with low- and high-...[06 26, 2013]

Postdoc XU Deke and his teacher LU Houyuan present three sets of independent climate proxy data from a single core from the Okinawa Trough, East China Sea (ECS): one of terrestrial origin and two of marine origin.
  The results provide robust ev...

Nature and evolution of the lower crust in the eastern North China craton: A review[06 24, 2013]

Professor JIANG Neng and his team integrate available published data on the granulite terrains, granulite xenoliths and Mesozoic intermediate-felsic igneous rocks in the eastern NCC to constrain the nature of the lower crust and its evolution thro...

Stardust investigation into the CR Chondrite Grove Mountain 021710[06 04, 2013]

Ph.D. student ZHAO Xuchao and his teacher LIN Yangting report the presolar grain inventory of the CR chondrite Grove Mountain 021710. They present the isotopic and chemical compositions of C- and O- anomalous grains identified in the CR chondrite ...

Chinese Loess Plateau vegetation since the Last Glacial Maximum and its implications for vegetation restoration[06 03, 2013]

Vice Professor JIANG Wenying and her team present pollen records from six sites across Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP), with the objective of identifying the natural vegetation types since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and to suggest suitable plant t...
