Human Activities Induce Stronger Silicate Weathering in Red River Basin 1,500 Years Ago: Study

Researchers from IOCAS revealed enhanced silicate weathering carbon sink effect induced by human activities in Red River Basin since 1,500 years ago.Silicate weathering, a vital natural carbon sink process, has long been recognized for its role in consuming atmospheric CO2 and influencing global climate. ...

Study Reveals Slowdown of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

Researchers from IOCAS analyzed observations, climate models, and ocean simulations to reveal a better fingerprint of AMOC slowdown: mid-depth (1,000–2,000 ...Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—a powerful system that transports heat from the tropics to the North Atlantic—plays a vital role in regu...

Scientists Reveal Mechanism of Deep Intraseasonal Variability in Western Equatorial Pacific

A research team led by Prof. WANG Jianing Wang from IOCAS analyzed five consecutive years of mooring data collected at the equator (142°E).The deep ocean has long been regarded as a quiet realm, largely isolated from the dynamic processes that shape Earth's climate. However, new observations fro...
