Eolian origin of the Miocene loess-soil sequence at Qin’an, China: Evidence of quartz morphology and quartz grain-size

Recent study revealed that the so-called Neogene Gansu System in the western Loess Plateau contains loess-soil sequences of Miocene age. A most complete sequence （QA-I） covers a time interval from ～22 to ～.6.2 Ma BP, consisting of more than 230 visually definable paleosols interbedded with loess layers. A loess-soil sequence of late Miocene-Pliocene age, synchronous with the Hipparian Red Clay in the eastern Loess Plateau, was also recognized, and extends the Miocene sequences into the Pliocene, ～3.5 Ma BP. Recently, Miocene eolian deposits were also reported from the high terraces near Xining.

SINCE THE 1990S, THE CLIMATIC VARIABILITY ON INTERDE- CADAL TIME SCALES BECAME THE FOCUS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CLIMATOLOGY RESEARCH MISSIONS[1―3]. ON TIME SCALES OF A DECADE OR MORE, THE OCEAN CIRCULATION PREDOMINATEDHEAT BALANCE AND HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE, S…     

Removing the impact of wind direction on remote sensing of sea surface salinity

Sea surface salinity (SSS) plays an important role in the sub-polar area, where intrusions with low salinity influence the deep thermohaline circulation and the meridional heal transport. SSS fields and their seasonal and inter-annual variability are thus…     

Seasonal variation of snow microbial community structure in the East Rongbuk glacier, Mt. Everest

Mt. Everest, the zenith of the world, plays an impor- tant role in the global climate change. During the lastdecade, some studies on glacier and snow have been undertaken in this region. The climate and environment changes in the past hundred years have b…

幼虫的起源

长期以来，幼虫和成虫是由同一基因物种进化而来这一假设与许多生物学现象有着难以调和的矛盾。本书的作者提出了一个大胆的猜想——决定幼虫形态的相关基因可能是由不同种类动物交互移植而来，并通过举例论证了这一幼虫基因移植论的可行性。
