The Beibu Gulf (also named the Gulf of Tonkin), located in the northwest of the South China Sea, is representative of a bay suffering from turbulence and contamination associated with rapid industrialization and urbaniza...
Since offshore waters are less affected by human activities and nutrient-rich water masses, existing theories on periodic offshore blooms (POB) consider that the POB is proportional to the intensity of ocean fronts (nutr...
The decrease of river runoff caused by the intensified human activities (e.g. artificial dams) and increasing intrusion of high salinity water in the coastal bays have become a worldwide environmental problem. However, t...

High-resolution stalagmite oxygen isotope (delta O-18) records are widely employed in palaeoclimate studies as indicators of East Asian Monsoon intensity in southern China. A key issue is whether the East Asian Monsoon o...
Surface currents play an essential role in the worldwide distribution of microplastics in the coastal seas and open oceans. As a branch of the western boundary currents (WBCs), Kuroshio changes seawater properties and po...
The isotopic composition (delta C-13 and delta N-15), organic carbon and nitrogen contents and C/N ratios of suspended particulate organic matter (POM) collected from the Pearl River Estuary and the adjacent shelf during...
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 ...

The issue of whether the increase in nutrients is supplied by increasing runoff or by enhancing upwelling in coastal marine ecosystems after a typhoon is considered controversial. This is because it is relatively difficu...
Microplastic (MP) was investigated in Zhanjiang Bay, a semi-enclosed bay in south China and famous for considerable mariculture industry, to evaluate whether mariculture activities accelerated MP pollution. The MP abunda...
We sampled the surface sediments of the East China Sea shelf (ECSS) in spring and autumn, 2014, and analyzed the biogenic element concentrations and stable carbon (delta C-13) and nitrogen (delta N-15) isotopic compositi...
Typhoons frequently induce algal blooms in the open ocean based on the satellite remote sensing data. However, the effects of typhoons on nearshore areas are not fully clarified due to the inaccessibility of in situ samp...
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...
The isotopic compositions (613C and 615N) and C/N ratios of suspended particulate organic matter (POM) were investigated off the east coast of Hainan Island in the South China Sea during summer. Coastal upwelling influen...
The 813C, 815N and C/N ratio of the particulate organic matter (POM) in western Guangdong waters were determined to evaluate the impacts of the coastal currents on the POM in spring and summer. The predominance of photos...
