Dynamic evolution of crustal horizontal deformation before the Ms6.4 Menyuan earthquake
Abstract An Ms6.4 earthquake occurred in the Menyuan county of Qinghai Province on Jan 21, 2016. In order to recognize the development of horizontal deformation and distinguish precursory deformation anomalies, we obtained coordinates time series,...

Comprehensive synthesis of spatial variability in carbon flux across monsoon Asian forests
Abstract Forest ecosystems sequester large amounts of atmospheric CO2, and the contribution from forests in Asia is not negligible. Previous syntheses of carbon fluxes in Asian ecosystems mainly employed estimates of eddy covariance measurements,...
