The episodic assembly and breakup of supercontinents have significant influences on the evolution of Earth’s crust, atmosphere, hydrosphere and life. One of the key aspects in assessing the influence is to understand the transitional pr...
Maohokite, a new-found high-pressure mineral. It can be what makes up the lower mantle of the Earth, in addition to Bridgmanite MgSiO3 and magnesiowüstite MgO.Scientists long believed that the lower mantle was composed of Bridgmanite (Mg,Fe)SiO3 and magnesiowüstite (Mg,Fe)O, in which Fe2+ dwells. This view changed when experiments showed that Fe2+ simply can’t exist at the pressure and tempe...
The crude e-waste recycling activities released a large amount of persistent organic pollutants, such as PCBs and PBDEs, into the soils posing a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Microbial degradation is an i...
The effect of sulfur compounds on the evolution of hydrocarbons and biomarkers in source rocks has been found by a Chinese team led by Professor Ansong Geng and his team members Dr. Liangliang Wu and Sir. Xinyan Fang. Sulfur and sulfur-b...
The earliest evidence for our ancestors outside Africa has been found by a Chinese team led by Professor Zhaoyu Zhu of the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry/State Key Laboratory of Loess and Quaternary Geology, Chinese Academy of Scien...
crustal LVZs with variable strengths and anomalous Vp/Vs ratios that are correlated with LVZs suggest a lithospheric-scale deformation of continuous shortening as well as localized faulting, which is affected by the strength of the litho...As a margin of the vast Tibetan Plateau (TP) far away from the Indian-Asian collision front with devastating earthquakes, the northeast (NE) Tibet has drawn close attention on the mechanism of the plateau uplift and growth after the coll...
