A viscosity jump of one to two orders of magnitude in the lower mantle of Earth at 800–1,200-
km depth is inferred from geoid inversions and slab-subducting speeds. This jump is known …

In the context of China's “dual carbon” goal, emissions of air pollutants are expected to
significantly decrease in the future. Thus, the direct climate effects of black carbon (BC) …

The mechanical properties of quartz are fundamental to control the plastic behaviour of the
continental crust. Our understanding of quartz rheology is still limited in the following …

Abstract The Regional Climate Model (RegCM) proves valuable for climate analysis and has
been applied to a wide range of climate change aspects and other environmental issues at a …

A new technique called “flash sintering” has been proposed in the field of materials science.
When a compact powder of oxide material is sintered in an electrical field, densification …

East Asia (EA) has always been a highly concern region for human-induced climate change.
In this study, a well-developed regional model RegCM4 is employed to investigate the …

We conducted uniaxial compression and grain growth experiments on fine‐grained forsterite
(Mg2SiO4)+ 10 vol% periclase (MgO) aggregates. This aggregate is a unique polymineralic …

When H 2 O is present along grain boundaries, the deformation processes responsible for
plasticity in silicate mineral aggregates can deviate from what may be conventionally …

To understand the dislocation creep behavior of clinopyroxene in the upper mantle, hot‐
pressed diopside aggregates without predrying treatment were triaxially deformed under …

Tectonic plates are thought to move above the asthenosphere due to the presence of
accumulated melts or volatiles that result in a low-viscosity layer, known as lithosphere …
