Biomineralisation process which is the induction of the precipitation of a mineral by an
organism, generates hard tissues such as bones, teeth, otoliths and shells …

Understanding past environmental change through high-resolution palaeoenvironmental
proxy reconstructions provides crucial baselines for understanding global environmental …

Abstract A “once-in-a-millennium” super rainstorm battered Zhengzhou, central China, from
07/17/2021 to 07/22/2021 (named “7.20” Zhengzhou rainstorm). It killed 398 people and …

Low‐likelihood weather events can cause dramatic impacts, especially when they are
unprecedented. In 2020, amongst other high‐impact weather events, UK floods caused …

Tropical cyclones (TC) are one of the most destructive weather phenomena on Earth.
However, the short duration of instrumental weather records mean that little is known of the …

Increasing evidence suggests that nearshore turbid coral reefs may mitigate bleaching of
reef building calcifiers and play a critical role in the future of marine biodiversity in coastal …

Shells of the giant clam Tridacna can provide decade‐long records of past environmental
conditions via their geochemical composition and structurally through growth banding …

The chemical composition of mollusk shells is a useful tool in (paleo) climatology since it
captures inter-and intra-annual variability in environmental conditions. Trace element and …

Tridacna spp. usually have annual and even daily growth bands, and thus provide great
potential to be the high-resolution recorders of past climate and environmental changes of …

In situ trace-elemental and Sr isotopic compositions of calcite have become powerful tools to
unravel detailed geological processes. However, the accuracy of such analyses is …
