Yo-yo-like Movement at Mantle Depths Recorded by Rocks in the Subduction Channel[03 29, 2016]Subduction zones are a vital element of plate tectonics. Where two tectonic plates meet, one bends and slides underneath the other and sinks into the mantle, therefore producing a subduction zone (Fig. 1). Subduction zones marks convergent boundar... New Methods and Software for Unmixing Sediment Grain Size Data[01 21, 2016]Grain size distribution (GSD) data are widely used in Earth sciences and although large data sets are regularly generated, detailed numerical analyses are not routine. Unmixing GSDs into components (called end members) can help understand sediment... Cultivation of Magnetospirillum sp. XM-1, a New Strain of Magnetotactic Bacteria[12 31, 2015]Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a group of prokaryotes that can synthesize intracellular magnetite (Fe3O4) or/and greigite (Fe3S4) particles. These particles, called magnetosomes, are usually arranged in one or multiple chains within a cell and h... Researchers Find Coalescence of Magnetic Flux Ropes in Diffusion Region of Magnetic Reconnection[12 21, 2015]Researchers from Institute of Geology and Geophysics,Chinese Academy of Sciences(IGGCAS), University of Science and Technology of China, and Austrian Academy of Sciences have confirmed that interaction between magnetic flux ropes within the diffus... A Multi-proxy Reconstruction of Spatial and Temporal Variations in Asian Summer Temperatures Over the Last Millen...[11 24, 2015]Reconstructions of the spatial and temporal patterns of regional temperature variability are important for a better understanding and quantification of the influence of different external forces and internal feedbacks of the global climate system ... Global Warming Will Shift the East Asian Monsoon Rain Belt Northward[10 21, 2015]The East Asian monsoon has been decreasing since 1970s. As a result, the monsoon rain belt has migrated southward, with more droughts in northern China countered by more floods in southern China. The trend of decreasing monsoon intensity has been ... Paleomagnetic field intensity variations suggest Mesoproterozoic inner-core nucleation[10 20, 2015]The present day inner core of Earth has a solid body of iron (with minor light elements) at its center, which is surrounded by the liquid outer core. The fluid motion within the outer core is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field. In t... |
