  • The Fujia Yang That I Know by Da Hsuan Feng Am Deeply Honored to Be Asked to Say a Few Words About Fujia at the Occasion Celebrating I His 80Th Birthday
    FEATURE The Fujia Yang that I know By Da Hsuan Feng am deeply honored to be asked to say a few words about Fujia at the occasion celebrating I his 80th birthday. My friends, this is not an easy task. First of all, Fujia’s lifetime accomplishments, such as his leadership in science, education (Fudan University President, as the first Chinese to assume the Chancellorship of Nottingham University and the Founding President of Nottingham University Ningbo, China, and last but not least, developing China’s synchrotron research, the theme of the Conference today, to new and spectacular heights) are globally known. Professor Fujia Yang For sure, for this audience, who are his students, collaborators, colleagues, your knowledge about In the past 40 years, I have had many him is certainly as deep and as broad, if not personal interactions with him. In hindsight, broader or deeper, than mine. Last but not least, those interactions certainly shaped my career as a ten years ago, I gave a talk at his 70th birthday scientist and later as a university administrator. conference. When the invitation came to me a few For that, I am deeply grateful. So today, please weeks ago, I asked myself the following question: allow me to tell you two such interactions and the “what can I possibly say now that I did not say lessons, and I hope some wisdom, I derived from then?” them. I then reread what I said ten years ago. I Lesson 1: Learn to Ask Questions found out that in that speech, I discussed more For the second half of his career, Fujia about China than Fujia.

  • Recent Advances on Reconstruction of Climate and Extreme Events in China for the Past 2000 Years
    J. Geogr. Sci. 2016, 26(7): 827-854 DOI: 10.1007/s11442-016-1301-4 © 2016 Science Press Springer-Verlag Recent advances on reconstruction of climate and extreme events in China for the past 2000 years GE Quansheng1, *ZHENG Jingyun1, HAO Zhixin1, LIU Yang1,2, LI Mingqi1 1. Key Laboratory of Land Surface Pattern and Simulation, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Re- sources Research, CAS, Beijing 100101, China; 2. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China Abstract: China is distinguished by a prominent monsoonal climate in the east of the country, a continental arid climate in the northwest and a highland cold climate on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Because of the long history of Chinese civilization, there are abundant and well-dated documentary records for climate variation over the whole of the country as well as many natural archives (e.g., tree-rings, ice cores, stalagmites, varved lake sediments and corals) that enable high-resolution paleoclimatic reconstruction. In this paper, we review re- cent advances in the reconstruction of climate and extreme events over the last 2000 years in China. In the last 10 years, many new reconstructions, based on multi-proxies with wide spa- tial coverage, have been published in China. These reconstructions enable us to understand the characteristics of climate change across the country as well as the uncertainties of re- gional reconstructions. Synthesized reconstructed temperature results show that warm in- tervals over the last 2000 years occurred in AD 1–200, AD 551–760, AD 951–1320, and after AD 1921, and also show that cold intervals were in AD 201–350, AD 441–530, AD 781–950, and AD 1321–1920.

  • Synchronous Drying and Cooling in Central Asia During Late Oligocene DONG Xinxin, DING Zhongli, YANG Shiling, LUO Pan, WANG Xu & JI Junliang
    COVER Water exchange through the sea-land interface is a major component of the hydrologic cycle. This exchange, called submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), comprises fresh inland groundwater and recycled seawater. SGD is an important pathway as surface runoff for material transport to the marine environment. Owing to the importance of SGD for the marine geochemical cycling of elements, coastal aquifer systems can be regarded as subterranean estuaries. The photo cover shows the interaction between groundwater and ocean associated with SGD within a typical subterranean estuary. The schematic diagram shows that SGD is driven by terrestrial hydraulic gradients, density difference between seawater and inland fresh groundwater, and any number of oceanic processes such as wave pumping, tidal pumping, and thermal gradients. SGD is widespread and, in some areas, of greater marine ecological significance than surface runoff. In particular, terrestrially recharged water (or fresh inland groundwater), which is a component of SGD, may seriously affect the coastal ecological environment. Thus, it is important to carefully consider groundwater issues such as groundwater contamination, circulation, evolution, overexploitation, and seawater intrusion (see the special topic: Groundwater).
