The nature of the lost Cenozoic tectonic plate between the India and Tibet remains hotly debated. In previous studies, this block has been suggested to be largely continental, oceanic, or a mixture of the two (Fig. 1). As the subduction ...
Recently, a research team led by Prof. HE Hongping from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new technique, electrokinetic mining (EKM), for the green and efficient recovery of REEs f...The Moon has been considered extremely reductive since the Apollo era, as estimated by the low ferric iron content in lunar samples returned in the 1970s. In addition, it has long been a mystery whether a large amount of ferric iron exis...
Organic sulfur (OS) compounds have been globally identified in ambient secondary organic aerosols (SOA), but their contribution to organic mass is not well quantified, and the current models considerably underestimate ambient SOA formati...
Oxygen is necessary for the maintenance of all life forms on Earth. Subduction of oceanic plate carries abundant redox-sensitive elements such as sulfur, iron and carbon to the deep earth, drives the oxygen cycle between Earth’s interio...
Potassic volcanism commonly occurs in the late stages of orogenesis – the process of collision of plates – between a long-lasting period of subduction and the end of post-collisional collapse. The transformation of an arc system into a...
Clouds and aerosols are interconnected while affecting the surface temperature of our planet by reflecting the sunlight (cooling effect) and trapping the heat (warming effect). The cloud droplets and aerosol particles contain a large fra...
