From Paleogeographic maps to Evolving Deep-time Digital Earth models

正Major advances in computational power,as well as community modelling workflows and an improvement in data availability,has revolutionized Earth sciences over the last decade.Geological data has been synthesized into flexible and open access plate tectonic and paleogeographic reconstructions using the open-source and cross-platform GPlates (www.gplates.org)software since 2008 (Muller et al.,2018;Muller et al.,2008).These digital plate     

Incorporating the Istanbul-Ankara high-speed railway into the Belt and Road Initiative: Negotiation,institutional alignment and regional development

This article contributes to a small but growing body of multi-sited and multi-scalar research on the Belt and Road Initiative.We focus on relations at the national,regional and international scales,and present original research from China and Turkey,to show how the Istanbul-Ankara high-speed railway has served as a testing ground for China's Belt and Road Initiative(BRI).Its construction was initially funded by the European Investment Bank,but it is now part of the backbone of the Turkish Government's Middle Corridor plan which enhances west-east connectivity and integration with the Caucasus and Central Asia.We show that in contrast to multinational corporations from the OECD that seek to remain footloose,Chinese state-owned enterprises(SOEs)seek to adapt to,apprehend and ultimately shape local in-stitutions.In the case of Turkey this proved difficult given its institutional alignment with the European Union.Thus,while the railway project was completed successfully by a consortium led by a Chinese SOE,Turkey's dynamic and complex regulatory environment discourages Chinese SOEs in the infrastructure sector.We conclude that the Turkish and Chinese gov-ernments are currently pursuing complementary territorial visions yet their cooperation is project-based and pragmatic.     

临潼石榴花期连阴雨灾害等级指标研究

利用1991—2020年临潼石榴花期逐日气象观测数据及1996—2020年临潼石榴产量数据,采用主成分分析和K-means聚类分析方法,研究临潼石榴花期连阴雨灾害等级指标。结果显示:轻、中、重、严重4个灾害等级对应的连阴雨灾害综合指数(Z)的分级阈值分别为：Z≤032,032039。通过对比验证,建立的临潼石榴连阴雨灾害等级指标对连阴雨灾害具有较高识别能力,可为临潼石榴花期连阴雨灾害等级预报提供指导。     

GEOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE DEPOSITS OF THE SANGKANHO BASIN.

This paper offers a preliminary statement of the results of investigations carried out in the South Sangkanho basin, in the mountains some 80 miles to the NW of Peking. Important fossiliferous deposits found in this area throw light on the conditions ruling in N. China during the transition from Pliocene     

ON THE SEEDS OF THE PTERIDOSPERM EMPLECTOPTERIS TRIANGULARIS HALLE

Recent studies of the Late Palaeozoic floras of China have brought to light a comparatively great number of Pteridosperms with attached seeds. From the Permian of Shansi have been described no less than five species of seed-bearing fronds, whereas the total number of established cases of connexion
