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...
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...
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...
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 ...

In the fourth Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition (from July to September, 2010), 14 surface sediment samples were collected from the Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, and Canadian Basin to examine the spatial distributio...
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...
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...
The impact of typhoons on the ecology of the ocean has been observed using high-accuracy satellite remote sensing data. However, few field observations in the ocean have been conducted to understand the effect of typhoon...
The presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) was determined in the sediments of Beibu Gulf, a newly developing industry and port in South China, to evaluate whether the rap...

Typhoons and rainstorms (rainfall >250 mm day(- 1)) are extreme weather events that seriously impact coastal oceanography and biogeochemical cycles. However, changes in the mixing of water masses and nutrient supply indu...
Dual isotope measurements were performed on nitrate (delta N-15-NO3- and delta O-18-NO3-) in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) and the adjacent northern South China Sea (NSCS) to investigate nitrate sources and its biogeoche...

Nitrate (NO3-) dual isotope analysis was performed in Zhanjiang Bay, which is a closed bay with intensive human activities in South China, to investigate seasonal changes in the main NO3- sources and their biogeochemical...
As a semi-closed bay with narrow bay mouths, the distribution of nutrients in Zhanjiang Bay was different from bays with open bay mouths and rivers with large flows. It is important to study the water quality of Zhanjian...
The biogeochemical processes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the South China Sea (SCS) are influenced by the exchanges of water masses, energies, and materials between this marginal sea and the Pacific Ocea...
