Partial Differentiation of Europa and Implications for the Origin of Materials in the Jupiter System Academic Background Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons, has long been considered one of the most promising candidates for extraterrestrial life in the solar system. Its surface is covered by a thick ice layer, beneath which a liquid water ocean may ...

Study on Chorus Waves and Field-Particle Energy Transfer in Space Academic Background Chorus waves are among the strongest naturally occurring electromagnetic emissions, widely observed in the magnetospheres of Earth and other planets. These waves not only pose radiation hazards to satellites and astronauts but also play a crucial role in accelerat...

Global 3D Model of Mantle Attenuation: A Study Based on Seismic Normal Modes Academic Background The structure and dynamic processes of Earth’s interior have always been at the core of geoscientific research. Mantle convection is the primary mechanism driving plate tectonics, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. However, traditional seismic tomogra...

Contribution of Buckling to Coseismic Uplift and Long-Term Fold Growth in Active Fold-Thrust Belts Academic Background Fold-thrust belts are significant structural units at the foreland of many orogenic belts worldwide, often accompanied by intense seismic activity. Understanding the complex relationships among fault slip, fold growth, and earthqua...

The Opening of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Rise of the Scandinavian Mountains Academic Background The Scandinavian Mountains (Scandes) are a significant geomorphological feature in northern Europe, but their formation mechanism has long remained a mystery. Traditionally, mountain formation is associated with convergent plate boundaries. Howeve...

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...

New Interpretation of the Moon’s Age: A Tidal Heating-Driven Remelting Event Academic Background The formation of the Moon has been a significant issue in planetary science. Currently, the most widely accepted theory for the Moon’s formation is the “Giant Impact Hypothesis,” which posits that during the late stages of Earth’s formation, a Mars-size...

Record-Low Antarctic Sea Ice in 2023: Increased Ocean Heat Loss and Storms Academic Background The recent decline in Antarctic sea ice has raised significant concerns within the scientific community, particularly the record-low sea ice extent observed in 2023. While progress has been made in identifying the drivers of ice loss, the consequences for...

Exploration of the History of Water on Mars: From Seasonal Cycles to Long-Term Evolution Academic Background As one of the planets in the solar system closest to Earth, Mars has long been a focus of scientific interest. The presence and evolution of water on Mars are directly related to whether the planet once had conditions suitable for life. Unde...
