This study presents the first directly dated physical evidence of crop remains from the Early Neolithic archaeological layers in Taiwan. Systematic sampling and analysis of macro-plant remains suggested that Neolithic farmers at the Zhiwuyuan (Botanical Garden) site in Taipei, northern Taiwan, had cultivated rice and foxtail millet together at least 4500 years ago. A more comprehensive review of all related radiocarbon dates suggests that agriculture emerged in Taiwan around 4800–4600 cal. BP, instead of the previous claim of 5000 cal. BP. According to the rice grain metrics from three study...

The so-called compound wind and precipitation extremes (CWPEs) are caused as a result of co-occurrences of wind extremes and precipitation extremes and they could interrupt and threaten shipping and shipment logistics.

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology (APM) recently calculated the exotic atom p4He+ (17,16)(16,15) transition frequency.

Glacier inventory is the basic data for hydrological, water resources and climate change research. Glacier inventories have been created for the Third Pole Region (TPR) or high Asia, yet they are different in coverage area and vary largely in quality. It is thus necessary to assess their quality in order to provide information for potential users to choose the right glacier inventories. Using the analytic hierarchy process, this study selects eight assessment factors and assesses the comprehensive quality of eight glacier inventories of the TPR by grading. The assessment results indicate that ...
