Tectonic forces shaped Madagascar setting the stage for one of the most biodiverse, species-rich ecosystems on Earth. A recent study in the journal, Science Advances shows that the island's landscape was not formed in a single geological upheaval, but in two huge rift formation phases that lie 80 million years apart.

In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences, a research team conducted a comprehensive analysis of the horizontal distribution and transport patterns of anthropogenic ¹²⁹I in the northern South China Sea. These findings reveals that terrigenous input is the primary driver of the pronounced ¹²⁹I enrichment observed off the Pearl River estuary. By quantifying the ¹²⁹I inventory across the region, the study further discriminates the relative contributions of different source terms, demonstrating that oceanic advection serves as the dominant pathway through which ¹²⁹I enters the seawater of the northern South China Sea.

A groundbreaking approach to turning waste into wealth is set to take center stage in an upcoming international webinar.

The cloudy, sediment-laden meltwater from glaciers is a key source of nutrients for ocean life, but a new study suggests that as climate change causes many glaciers to shrink and retreat their meltwater may become less nutritious. 

What if we told you that the secret to healthier soil, cleaner ecosystems, and smarter farming isn’t buried in a high-tech lab—but hidden in the data behind crop residues, wood chips, and food waste?

Meet the future of sustainable agriculture: a powerful new machine learning tool that can predict exactly how much biochar—a carbon-rich, soil-boosting material—can be made from any type of biomass, and how much nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium it will contain. No crystal ball needed. Just smart science, powered by data.
