Research Background Global climate change, particularly global warming, has exerted immense pressure on the global carbon cycle. As a significant carbon sink, the ocean absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂), leading to ocean acidification, which adversely affects marine organisms reliant on carbonate minerals. Coastal wetlands, such as inte...

Salt Marsh Topography Reveals the Signature of Storm-Surge-Driven Sedimentation Academic Background Salt marshes are transitional zones located in low-lying, sheltered coastlines, situated between land and sea. They are among the most productive and fragile ecosystems on Earth, providing essential ecological services such as carbon sequestration, w...

Study on the Origin of Near-Ridge Seamount Chains in the South Pacific Academic Background Seamount chains in the ocean have long been considered products of mantle plume activity, such as the famous Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain. However, most seamounts in the Pacific Ocean do not exhibit age progression and are relatively small in volume, sugge...

New Insights into Gravity Flow Dynamics During Submarine Canyon Flushing Events Academic Background Submarine canyons are critical conduits connecting land and the deep ocean, and their formation and evolution have long been a focus of marine geological research. However, due to the destructive and infrequent nature of submarine canyon flushing eve...

Report on Research Paper: Modularity Buffers the Spread of Spatial Perturbations in Macroalgal Networks Background In the field of ecology, a critical challenge is understanding how to preserve ecosystem stability amidst increasing natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Modular network structures have garnered significant attention for their abili...
