In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences, a new study based on the sediment core from Lake Chaohu in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River presents the evolution histories of vegetation, climate, human activity and East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) over the past 5100 years in eastern China, and reveals their possible driving mechanisms.

In a paper published in Science China Earth Sciences, a study of the Southwest Indian Ridge over a decade has revealed a diverse range of hydrothermal activities with a frequency two to three times higher than predicted by classical theoretical model. The study proposes a sulfide metallogenic model controlled by local enhanced heat supply and deep faults (eHeat-dFault model), uncovering the resource potential of this type of mide-ocean ridge for large-scale sulfide deposit formation.
In light of global warming with increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and melting polar ice, reconstruction of paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic history during past periods when the Earth’s climate system altered significantly is vital for comprehending climate mechanism and thus enhancing predictions of the future.
