New Configuration of Nuna: a north China-Siberia connection[09 30, 2015]Through the action of plate tectonics, dispersed continents can merge into a single supercontinent. Three supercontinents are known to have existed in the Earth's history. These are Nuna, which formed at ~1.8 billion year ago, Rodinia at ~800 mill... Solar energetic particles stronger when coming from the eastern side[09 24, 2015]Solar energetic particles (SEPs), which are charged energetic particles occasionally emitted by the Sun, endanger the health of astronauts working in space and damage electronic components on satellites, and so they have become a very important as... Pollen evidence of the palaeoenvironments of Lufengpithecus lufengensis in the Zhaotong Basin, southeastern margi...[09 22, 2015]Evolutionary processes in hominoid primates are closely related to global and/or regional environmental changes and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions are fundamental for understanding how environmental changes shaped their evolution. Joint Chinese-French-Italian research identifies the seismic signature of continental crust subducting under the ...[09 18, 2015]The subduction of continental lithosphere in the mantle has long been considered as impossible because of the floating force of continental crust. The first conclusive evidence in support of burial of continental crust to depths >90 km was provide... A rapid single column separation scheme for high precision Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic analysis in geological samples usi...[09 17, 2015]Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope ratios are routinely used for geochemical and environmental tracing, and for interpreting the evolution of the lithosphere, source provenance, as well as atmospheric circulation and transport. Thermal ionization source mass ... Scientific Reports: Flexural bending of southern Tibet in a retro foreland setting[09 01, 2015]The Indian and Eurasian plates converged continuously along the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone in Cenozoic. The early-stage convergence was present as northward subduction of oceanic lithosphere from the Indian plate, which led to the formation of a l... The flapping properties of Venusian magnetotail current sheet[08 31, 2015]The interaction of the solar wind with Earth's intrinsic dipole field stretches the night-side magnetic field into a magnetotail. In the magnetotail, a transition layer separating the antiparallel lobe field lines is referred as magnetotail curren... Scientific Reports: Middle Pleistocene Super-interglacial in the Northern Hemisphere and the Second Dispersal of ...[07 21, 2015]Milankovitch theory proposes that changes in the summer insolation at high northern latitudes drive the alternation of glacial and interglacial climate. Dr. Hao Qingzhen from the Division of Cenozoic Geology and Environment of the institute conclu... |
