Discovery of Deep Sulfide Cumulates Beneath the Jinchuan Ni-Cu-Platinum Group Element Deposit and Its Significance Background Introduction Nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and platinum group elements (PGE) are critical metal resources on Earth, widely used in industries, electronics, and new energy sectors. Approximately 56% of the world’s nickel, 3% of c...

Late Triassic Continental Eclogite in the Central Tibetan Plateau Reveals Paleo-Tethys Continental Subduction Academic Background The Tibetan Plateau is one of the youngest and highest plateaus on Earth, and its formation is closely related to the closure of the Tethys Ocean and the collision of the Indian-Eurasian plates. The Paleo-Tethys Ocean wa...

Evidence of Alkali-Carbonate Melts in the Mantle Academic Background Carbonate melts play a crucial role in Earth’s deep carbon cycle, mantle melting, redox reactions, and the transport of highly incompatible elements. Although experimental studies, metasomatic transformations, and melt/fluid inclusions in mantle xenoliths, kimberlites, and diamond...

New Insights into Gravity Flow Dynamics During Submarine Canyon Flushing Events Academic Background Submarine canyons are critical conduits connecting land and the deep ocean, and their formation and evolution have long been a focus of marine geological research. However, due to the destructive and infrequent nature of submarine canyon flushing eve...

First Dating of an Early Chibanian (Middle Pleistocene) Glacial Overdeepening in the Alpine Foreland Using the 4He/U-Th Method Academic Background Glacial overdeepenings are deep valleys formed by glacial erosion, typically filled with glacial sediments. These sediments record the history of glacial activity and are crucial for understanding the ex...

Study on the Link Between Crustal “Bobbing” and Lithospheric Foundering in the Central Andean Plateau Academic Background The Andean Plateau is one of the most active orogenic belts on Earth, and its formation and evolution have long been a focus of geologists. Lithospheric foundering is an important mechanism for crustal deformation, basin subside...

Global Progress in Quantifying Fire Behavior Characteristics in Forests and Shrublands Academic Background Wildland fire is a complex natural phenomenon involving interactions among chemical, physical, and biological processes. Due to its free-spreading nature, destructive energy fluxes, and hazardous environment, studying wildland fire is highly c...

Forest Resilience and the Role of Invasive Tree Species under Climate Change Academic Background With the intensification of global climate change, the resilience of forest ecosystems is under severe threat. Climate change has led to a decline in the vitality of major native tree species, weakening the ability of forests to provide ecosystem servic...

Report on Research Paper: Modularity Buffers the Spread of Spatial Perturbations in Macroalgal Networks Background In the field of ecology, a critical challenge is understanding how to preserve ecosystem stability amidst increasing natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Modular network structures have garnered significant attention for their abili...

Report on the Paper: “Partial Domain Adaptation for Building Borehole Lithology Model Under Weaker Geological Prior” Background and Research Problem Lithology identification plays a critical role in stratigraphic characterization and reservoir exploration. However, existing AI and machine learning-based lithology identification methods face substan...
