Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

A lightweight knowledge graph-driven question answering system for field-based mineral resource survey

Applied Computing and Geosciences
Geoscience data associated with mineral resource surveys have become essential digital assets for governments and mining companies. The rapid increase in the volume of geoscience data makes it challenging to acquire knowledge quickly.

Beyond the Gold Standard: Towards Industrially Viable Electrodes for Durable Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Transparent and opaque electrode materials are mapped by raw material cost per 1 m2 electrode area and retained median device efficiency after heat–light ageing. FTO offers a lower‐cost and more stable alternative to ITO, while Cr/Al provides the lowest‐cost rear electrode investigated with Au‐like stability and substantially improved durability ...

Early aerial expedition photos reveal 85 years of glacier growth and stability in East Antarctica

Nature Communications
During the last few decades, several sectors in Antarctica have transitioned from glacial mass balance equilibrium to mass loss. In order to determine if recent trends exceed the scale of natural variability, long-term observations are vital.

Selection of strategic replacement areas for CBM exploration and development in China

Natural Gas Industry B, 2015
At present, the increase in proved reserves and production of coalbed methane (CBM) in China depends mainly on several CBM bases in the southern Qinshui Basin and in the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin.

Research progress on seismic structures of crust and mantle beneath Tien Shan and their geodynamic implications

地球与行星物理论评, 2023
The mechanisms causing the uplifting of the Tien Shan, one of the largest and most active intracontinental orogenic belts on Earth, have been vigorously debated for decades. Seismic investigation is a fundamental tool used for deep structural exploration

A Review of Open Educational Resources in the Geosciences: Guidelines and Criteria

, 2021
Open Educational Resources (OER) offer a link between new trends in learning and instruction, and the promise of transparency and inclusion offered by open science practices. Open textbooks, virtual field and laboratory experiences, interactive computational environments, and openly licensed media are among the many types of OER in use today.

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...
