Deep-seafloor organisms consume oxygen, which can be measured by in situ benthic chamber experiments. Here we report such experiments at the polymetallic nodule-covered abyssal seafloor in the Pacific Ocean in which oxygen increased over tw...

Heat flowing from the core to the mantle drives the geodynamo that produces Earth's global magnetic field. Palaeomagnetic measurements record the behaviour of this field through time and have the potential to inform us about deep Earth stru...

Flow of Earth's upper mantle has long been considered to occur by slow, near-continuous creep. This behaviour is observed in classical high-temperature deformation experiments and is a fundamental component of geodynamic models. The latest ...
Oligocene deep ocean oxygen isotope variations primarily driven by temperature [0.03%]

Our understanding of the long-term behaviour of global climate and the Antarctic ice sheet relies heavily on the oxygen isotopic composition of marine calcite (δ18Ocalcite), which reflects a combination of ocean temperature and the amount ...
Zonally asymmetric changes in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current strength over the past million years [0.03%]

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) plays a central role in regulating the global ocean circulation, climate and Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics. Yet the spatiotemporal variability of the ACC during the Pleistocene remains poorly constrain...
Sedimentary conditions drive modern pyrite burial flux to exceed oxidation [0.03%]
沉积条件使得现代黄铁矿的埋藏通量超过氧化通量

Pyrite (iron sulfide) formation and burial in sediments decreases atmospheric CO2 and increases O2 levels. However, the environmental and sedimentological conditions that regulate pyrite burial remain poorly constrained. Here we investigate...
Late Miocene Arctic warmth and terrestrial climate recorded by North Greenland speleothems [0.03%]

The sensitivity of terrestrial Arctic climate during the Late Miocene remains poorly understood, despite this interval marking the transition towards a cooler, more variable global climate and the prelude to Northern Hemisphere glaciation. ...

Calcium carbonate precipitation in ageing ocean crust sequesters carbon dioxide dissolved in seawater through seafloor weathering reactions, influencing atmospheric CO2 concentrations on million-year timescales. However, this crustal carbon...
Dramatic decline of Sargassum in the north Sargasso Sea since 2015 [0.03%]
2015年以来北大西洋马尾藻海的马尾藻数量急剧下降

The Sargasso Sea, at the centre of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre, draws its name from the endemic floating brown macroalgae, Sargassum, which provides shelter and habitat for life in the pelagic zone. In 2011, the Sargassum footprint ...
Presence of continental slivers in oceanic transform faults determined by rift inheritance [0.03%]
大陆碎片在洋中脊转换断层中的存在性由裂谷继承性决定

The theory of plate tectonics describes how continents are separated from each other by lateral movement that is accommodated by transform faults connecting mid-ocean ridge sections, which leaves inactive fracture zones on the ocean floor. ...
