if you were able to hold the Earth in your hand and slice it in half, you'd see that it has multiple layers. But of course, the interior of our world continues to hold some mysteries for us. Even as we intrepidly explore other worlds and deploy satellites into orbit, the inner reces...
Seismological studies have previously detected abundant scatterers in the lower mantle, potentially linked to long-term slab subduction, and petrology studies suggest carbonates can be sequestrated within the oceanic crust and transported into the lower mantle via subduction. Here, we report ab initio ...
The atmosphere is commonly described in terms of distinct layers, or regions. Most of the atmosphere is concentrated in the troposphere, which extends from the surface to an altitude of about 10–15 km (6–9 miles), depending on latitude and season. The behaviour of the gases in this layer...
Revealed by powerful earthquakes, the subterranean structures offer exciting new clues to why our planet is a chemical oddball.
Gap models have been implemented in numerous forest biomes worldwide at the stand scale (Shugart et al., 2018, 2020) and also spatially distributed across large regions including the Amazon basin (Rödig et al., 2017), Russia (Shuman et al., 2017), and interior Alaska (Foster et al.,...
Processes that redistribute mass on Earth’s surface or in the interior, such as ice melting, groundwater depletion, sea-level rise and solid Earth deformation, induce a polar motion through a perturbation of the inertia tensor I(t). Deglaciation of the Northern Hemispheric ice sheets since the...
Chinese scientists are confident by doing so, many of the previous unknown events and patterns in Earth's history will reveal themselves, thus give them a more objective perspective on the state of our biodiversity today. The use of supercomputers in geological studies are am...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become powerful state-of-the-art methods in many fields, including crop type detection from satellite imagery. However, existing CNNs generally have large number of layers and filters that increase the computational cost and the number of parameters to be ...
A range of parameterization options is available to account for the cumulative effects of unresolved processes in the models, such as cloud formation, radiation, planetary boundary layers, and land surface processes. By combining the aforementioned components, forecasts are routinely carried out by ...
第79章 Discovery upon Discovery(1) IN order fully to understand the exclamation made by my uncle,and his allusions to these illustrious and learned men,it will be necessary to enter into certain explanations in regard to a circumstance of the highest importance to paleontology,or the science of...
