The Oases of the Western Desert in Egypt hold sundry and valuable geoheritage landscapes that have scientific, educational, aesthetic, geotouristic and cultural worth, whereas the Dakhla Oasis is the largest of the five oases, West of River Nile. The Dakhla’s Oasis is home to remarkable geological, historical, and cultural phenomena with its plethora of heritage sites that are related to stratigraphic, geomorphological, paleon...

A comprehensive diagnosis of eddy–mean flow interaction in the Kuroshio Current (KC) region and the associated energy conversion pathway is conducted employing a state-of-the-art high-resolution global ocean–sea ice coupled model. The spatial distributions of the energy reservoirs and their conversions exhibit significant complexity. The cross-stream variation is found in the energy conversion pattern in the along-coast region...

Vegetation growth is affected by past growth rates and climate variability. However, the impacts of vegetation growth carryover (VGC; biotic) and lagged climatic effects (LCE; abiotic) on tree stem radial growth may be decoupled from photosynthetic capacity, as higher photosynthesis does not always translate into greater growth. To assess the interaction of tree‐species level VGC and LCE with ecosystem‐scale photosynthetic pro...

Previous studies demonstrated that eddy processes play an important role in ice shelf basal melting and the water mass properties of ice shelf cavities. However, the eddy energy generation and dissipation mechanisms in ice shelf cavities have not been studied systematically. The dynamic processes of the ocean circulation in the Amery Ice Shelf cavity are studied quantitatively through a Lorenz energy cycle approach for the fir...
