Geochemical Signals in Stalagmite Reveal Climate History of Vietnam

Rising sea levels from melting land ice caused an abrupt transition from dry to wet conditions in a subregion of mainland Southeast Asia some 14,000 years ago, accounting for the unique autumnal monsoons in this area. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and other international institutions found evidence of this shift in the geochemical signals stored in a stalagmite taken from a remote cave in central Vietnam.

Study Examines the Climate Impact of Reducing Aerosols Through China's Clean Air Initiatives

This study is led by Prof. Yang Yang from Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology when China pursues the carbon neutrality goal and the long-term air quality target, aerosol reductions will cause temperature increase over eastern China and enhance precipitation over southern China. Black carbon (BC) emission reduction can effectively mitigate the warming effect caused by other aerosol emission reduction under the carbon neutrality.
