Deciphering Late Quaternary stratigraphy in a marine setting using CPTu data: insights from Northern Fujian, China
The Late Quaternary stratigraphy of the inner shelf along the southeastern China coast presents a significant challenge due to limited borehole data. A new study addresses this, integrating 54 downhole CPTu soundings, borehole logs, and a sediment core to establish a high-resolution stratigraphic record in Northern Fujian. Calibrated CPTu responses reveal three successions linked to glacio-eustatic cycles, demonstrating the potential of this methodology for resolving long subsurface records.
Simulation and risk assessment of oil spill adsorption along complex coastlines in multi-island areas
Oil spills in complex, multi-island coastal regions demand more accurate risk assessment. Traditional models often oversimplify shoreline interactions, assuming infinite absorption. This study introduces a dynamic adsorption-desorption mechanism within the SCHISM model, incorporating substrate-specific oil retention and release rates across bedrock, gravel, tidal flats, and artificial shorelines. Numerical experiments demonstrate a realistic rise-and-fall evolution of surface oil, influenced significantly by substrate type.
