Tsinghua University Press is pleased to announce the launch of Carbonsphere, a new open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to carbon science, technology, and policy. Sponsored by Qinghai University and Tsinghua University and published by Tsinghua University Press, the journal creates a new interdisciplinary platform for research spanning natural systems, engineered systems, and human systems.

University of Cape Town researchers have discovered that the 2023-2024 El Niño triggered the largest sea level surge ever recorded across Africa's marine domains. A rare convergence of climate patterns amplified the event, causing sea levels to rise faster than the global average and placing over 15 million coastal residents at heightened flood risk. The study is published in Communications Earth & Environment.

A new open-access special issue of the journal ZooKeys has been published, detailing the discovery of 24 new deep-sea amphipod species and a rare new superfamily from the Pacific’s Clarion-Clipperton Zone. This publication is the result of a collaboration led by the University of Lodz and the National Oceanography Centre, marking a major milestone in the global effort to describe 1,000 new species by 2030.

The technology used to predict sand and dust storm (SDS) severity has for decades systematically over-estimated when and where sediment is transported across the Earth’s surface, a new study shows.
