Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is well known for its harmful effects and has been banned around the world. However, DDT is still frequently detected in natural environments, particularly in aquaculture and harbor ...
Independent inference of the Asian winter monsoon (AWM), albeit achieved at several sparse sites, has reached no consensus for its variability through the Holocene. A sediment core from the northern coast of the South Ch...
During the Late Cretaceous period (similar to 100.5-65 million years ago), two episodes of expansive lake anoxia occurred in the Songliao Basin (similar to 3 x the size of Lake Superior), NE China, either lasting less th...
High-resolution surface temperature records over the last two millennia are crucial to understanding the forcing and response mechanism of Earth's climate. Here we report a bidecadal-resolution sea surface temperature (S...

The climate history over the past few centuries is important to be used to assess how regional climate responds to global forcing. Here we report three high-resolution alkenone-based sea surface temperature (SST) records...
The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre circulation redistributes heat from the Western Pacific Warm Pool towards the mid- to high-latitude North Pacific. However, the driving mechanisms of this circulation and how it changed...

The widely developed dark mudstone in the Upper Cretaceous Nenjiang Formation of the Songliao Basin is a natural archive for reconstructing the palaeoenvironment. A time series sulfur isotope study on the Nenjiang Format...

The stretching and subsidence characteristics of passive continental margins have been investigated for decades but are still controversial. We focused our study on the deep water sub-basins of the Pearl River Mouth Basi...
The South China Sea (SCS), situated to the north of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP), is under the strong influence of the Asian monsoon system. However, coastal sea surface temperature (SST) records from the SCS, which...
High-resolution Holocene marine sediment records are limited, which hampers our understanding of paleomonsoon evolution. Continental shelf sediment records are derived mainly from terrestrial weathering products and are ...

Coastal upwelling is of great social and economic significance to the human community. The Vietnam coastal upwelling is a fundamental part of upwelling systems in the South China Sea, western Pacific Ocean. However, its ...
Natural archives are ideal tools for studying sedimentation history of mercury (Hg). However, record of Hg in marine sediments on millennial scales is less documented. This study analyzes a sedimentary core collected fro...
Climatic changes in the western Pacific marginal seas are influenced by global forcing and regional processes, including monsoons, and ocean circulation. To better understand the process of hydrographic and temperature c...

The evolution of East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) in tropical oceans has been a key issue in the climatic coupling between high- and low-latitudes. This study aims to investigate the EAWM variability using multiproxy of ...

Several long half-life natural and anthropogenic radionuclides, including Cs-137, Ra-226, Th-232, and K-40, in a 45 cm-long sediment core collected from the east continental shelf of Hainan Island, South China Sea, have ...
Soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in the red soil region of southern China, yet little is known about the factors responsible and their specific effects on long-term soil erosion dynamics in this region. We...
Large volcanic eruptions have significant impacts on climate and environmental changes. The deposition of tephra in marine sediments may serve as an eruption recorder, but it has not been extensively studied in the weste...

Coastal upwelling along the northern South China Sea controls regional marine productivity and thereby in-fluences blue economies. However, centennial-scale upwelling variability and its associated forcing mechanisms are...
Coastal regions of the northern South China Sea (SCS) strongly interact with the Asian monsoon circulation (AMC). Thus, variations of sea surface temperature (SST) here are newly suggested to document AMC changes in an e...
Silver is a highly toxic element for marine organisms. However, its controlling factor in marine sediments remains largely unknown, limiting our understanding of its biogeochemical cycling. Based on a sediment core from ...
