Reproducing past subduction and mantle flow using high-resolution global convection models
Plate subduction drives both the internal convection and the surface geology of the solid Earth. Despite the rapid increase of computational power, it remains challenging for geodynamic models to reproduce the history of Earth-like subduction and ...

Landing site of the Chang’e-6 lunar farside sample return mission from the Apollo basin
To address questions about the multiple lunar nearside–farside dichotomies and to provide new insights into both the early impact history of the Solar System and the geological evolution of the Moon, the Chang’e-6 (CE-6) landing zone has been selected to

Metasomatized lithospheric mantle for Mesozoic giant gold deposits in the North China craton [PDF]
The origin of giant lode gold deposits of Mesozoic age in the North China craton (NCC) is enigmatic because high-grade metamorphic ancient crust would be highly depleted in gold.
