BEIJING, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- China plans to develop two deep-sea manned submersibles, able to reach a depth of 11 kilometers, by around 2020, according to an oceanic association official. Liu Feng, secretary-general of China Ocean Mineral Resources R&D Association (COMRA), said that China...
The ocean has abundant renewable energy sources, which can be captured and transformed into clean electricity. Wu Changbin, office director at China Ocean Mineral Resources R&D Association under MNR, said the exploration and research of deep-sea mineral resources should be strengthened, while enhancing...
In this paper, zircon SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology, petrology, mineral chemistry, petrogeochemistry, Sm-Nd and Lu-Hf isotopes were studied for the eastern part of the Dupangling pluton, which is located at the western section of Nanling at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi provinces. The zircon ...
Chinese magmatic copper–nickel–cobalt sulfide deposit is the main source of strategic key metal resources, such as nickel, cobalt and platinum group elements in China, and it is an important deposit type with a future value that needs special attention. This type of deposit comes from the maf...
While much research has focused on quantifying C stocks and vertical fluxes into sediments, the inorganic C input into the ocean driven by tidal flushing in coastal wetlands (Figure 1) can exceed C burial.10 Thus, the actual annual C sequestration capacity of coastal wetlands seems to exceed by...

The study area was affected by N–S compression between the Siberia and the North China cratons, and oblique subduction toward the northwest of the Pacific Ocean. This formed a series of faults pairs that trend NE-NNE, E, and NW (Fig. 1b; Xiao et al., 2009; Liu et al., 2014c)....
