New Evidence Uncovers Origin of "Ghost-arc Signatures" in Global Mid-ocean Ridge Basalts

Recently, researchers from IOCAS revealed that molybdenum (Mo) isotopes provide new insights into the origin of ghost-arc signatures in MORBs.Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBS), far from subduction zones, are generally thought to be unaffected by subduction processes. However, some MORBs exhibit arc-l...

Ocean Mixing Intensifies Central Pacific ENSO via Diabatic Heating, Study Reveals

Researchers from IOCAS revealed the important effect of ocean subsurface mixing on the growth of both El Niño and La Niña of the central Pacific type.The El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the most significant interannual variations in the global ocean-atmospheric system, which can strongly...

Researchers Create Global 3D Dataset of Seawater pH Using Stepwise FFNN Algorithm

Researchers from IOCAS employed a Stepwise Feed-Forward Neural Network (Stepwise FFNN) algorithm, integrating observational data from the Global Ocean Data A...Ocean acidification, driven by the continuous absorption of atmospheric CO₂, poses severe threats to marine ecosystems and biodiversity. Accurate assessment...

Study Uncovers Composition and Dissemination Mechanisms of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Coastal Ecosystems

Recently, the research team from IOCAS utilized metagenomics to provide a more comprehensive analysis of ARGs in the Yellow Sea and Yangtze River Delta.The overuse of antibiotics has led to the development of bacterial resistance and the emergence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Coa...

Study Reveals Nature of Transition From Flexural Isostasy to Mantle Dynamics

Recently, Dr. YANG An of Prof. SUN Weidong's team from IOCAS, Prof. Watts. A.B. from Oxford University and Prof. ZHONG Shijie from University of Colorado at ...Topography and gravity anomalies are two fundamental observations on the Earth's surface. The topographic relief on Earth reaches up to several kilometers. W...
