Microbial D-amino acids and marine carbon storageScience China Earth Sciences - Tập 59 - Trang 17-24 - 2015
ZiLian Zhang, Qiang Zheng, NianZhi Jiao
In nature, there are two conformational types of amino acids: L- and D-isomers. The L-amino acids are the predominant form and are used mainly for protein synthesis, while the D-amino acids are few in quantity but more diverse in terms of their biological functions. D-amino acids are produced by many marine microbes, which are important players in carbon and energy cycles in the ocean. As the majo...... hiện toàn bộ
Non-matrix-matched analysis of U-Th-Pb geochronology of bastnäsite by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometryScience China Earth Sciences - Tập 64 Số 4 - Trang 667-676 - 2021
Luo, Tao, Zhao, He, Zhang, Wen, Guo, Jingliang, Zong, Keqing, Liu, Yongsheng, Zhang, Junfeng, Hu, Zhaochu
Bastnäsite is widespread in alkali granite, carbonatite and REE ore deposits. The U-Th-Pb ages of bastnäsite can constrain the mineralization age. Currently, the lack of suitable in situ analysis reference material is the major obstacle of bastnäsite U-Th-Pb geochronology. In this study, the matrix effects of U-Pb and Th-Pb age determination in bastnäsite using glass NIST 610 as the external calib...... hiện toàn bộ
Ocean surface wave measurements from fully polarimetric SAR imageryScience China Earth Sciences - Tập 58 - Trang 1849-1861 - 2015
Tao Xie, William Perrie, YiJun He, HaiYan Li, He Fang, ShangZhuo Zhao, WenJin Yu
A new method for the retrieval of ocean wave parameters from SAR imagery is developed, based on the shape-from-shading (SFS) technique. Previously, the SFS technique has been used in the reconstruction of 3D landform information from SAR images, in order to generate elevation maps of topography for land surfaces. Here, in order to retrieve ocean wave characteristics, we apply the SFS methodology, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Atmospheric correction of remote sensing imagery based on the surface spectrum’s vector spaceScience China Earth Sciences - Tập 55 - Trang 1289-1296 - 2012
Chun Chen, ChengYu Liu, ShuQing Zhang
Due to the atmosphere effect, the qualities of images decrease conspicuously, practically in the visible bands, in the processing of earth observation by the satellite-borne sensors. Thus, removing the atmosphere effects has become a key step to improve the qualities of images and to retrieve the actual reflectivity of surface features. An atmospheric correction approach, called ACVSS (Atmospheric...... hiện toàn bộ
Tropical Indian Ocean Basin Mode recorded in coral oxygen isotope data from the Seychelles over the past 148 yearsScience China Earth Sciences - Tập 57 - Trang 2597-2605 - 2014
Yan Du, JinJun Xiao, KeFu Yu
The tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) displays a uniform basin-wide warming or cooling in sea surface temperature (SST) during the decay year of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. This warming or cooling is called the tropical Indian Ocean Basin Mode (IOBM). Recent studies showed that the IOBM dominates the interannual variability of the TIO SST and has impacts on the tropical climate from the ...... hiện toàn bộ
Impacts of major volcanic eruptions over the past two millennia on both global and Chinese climates: A reviewScience China Earth Sciences - Tập 67 - Trang 61-78 - 2023
Weiyi Sun, Deliang Chen, Guonian Lü, Liang Ning, Chaochao Gao, Renhe Zhang, Bin Wang, Jian Liu
Major volcanic eruptions (MVEs) have attracted increasing attention from the scientific community. Previous studies have explored the climatic impact of MVEs over the past two millennia. However, proxy-based reconstructions and climate model simulations indicate divergent responses of global and China’s regional climates to MVEs. Here, we used multiple data from observations, reconstructions, simu...... hiện toàn bộ
Direct estimation of rupture depths of earthquake faults from coseismic surface deformationScience China Earth Sciences - Tập 57 - Trang 1986-1994 - 2014
Zhen Fu, CaiBo Hu, HaiMing Zhang, HuiHui Xu, YongEn Cai
The rupture dimensions of earthquake faults are important parameters for characterizing earthquake ruptures and ground motions. Two key parameters to be determined are the rupture depth and dip angle of earthquake faults. Dislocation theory in an elastic half space indicates that if a seismic rupture directly runs up to the ground surface, there exist zero points of horizontal strain in the surfac...... hiện toàn bộ
Vortex genesis over the Bay of Bengal in spring and its role in the onset of the Asian Summer MonsoonScience China Earth Sciences - Tập 54 - Trang 1-9 - 2010
GuoXiong Wu, Yue Guan, TongMei Wang, YiMin Liu, JingHui Yan, JiangYu Mao
Physical processes associated with onset of the 1998 Asian summer monsoon were examined in detail using multi-source datasets. We demonstrated that strong ocean-atmosphere-land interaction in the northern Indian Ocean and tropical Asian area during spring is a fundamental factor that induces the genesis and development of a monsoon onset vortex over the Bay of Bengal (BOB), with the vortex in turn...... hiện toàn bộ
