Weather induced subtidal flows through multiple inlets of an arctic microtidal lagoon
Li Chunyan, Boswell Kevin M., Chaichitehrani Nazanin, Huang Wei, Wu Renhao
2019, 38(3): 1-16. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1361-2
Abstract:
Estuarine processes in the arctic lagoons are among the least studied but important subjects, especially considering the rapid warming of arctic water which may change the length of ice-free period in the summer. In this paper, wind-driven exchange f...
The in situ observation of modelled sea ice drift characteristics in the Bohai Sea

Abstract:
The evolution of the natural and pristine Mediterranean coastline Port aux Princes-Sidi Daoued (Gulf of Tunis, NE-Tunisia) is studied during the period of 1887-2010 on the basis of an ancient minute of bathymetry (1887) and aerial photographs treated...

The relative changes of a sea surface temperature in the South China Sea since the Pliocene
BI Dongjie, ZHANG Daojun, ZHAI Shikui, LIU Xinyu, XIU Chun, LIU Xiaofeng, ZHANG Aibin
2019, 38(3): 78-92. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1401-y
Abstract:
The reconstruction of sea surface temperature (SST) is a key issue in research on paleoceanography. The recently related studies are mainly concentrated on the Quaternary. The skeletons of a typical species of benthonic foraminifer (Amphistegina radi...
The spatial distribution of major and trace elements of surface sediments in the northeastern Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea
