In this study, we applied autocorrelation, cross-correlation and time-frequency analyses over 20 years of daily hydrometeorological data to extract relevant indicators of hydrological connectivity in the Wuhle catchment, one of the main urban streams in Berlin, the capital of Germany. Despite the strong influence of urban storm drainage, our analysis showed a high degree of persistence of the groundwater signals, reflecting the important role of storage in regulating fluxes from the regional aquifer. For wet years, spectral analysis of the precipitation and discharge signals highlighted regions of high common power and coherence between precipitation and discharge at the seasonal scales (6–12 months). These were attenuated during periods of consecutive wet years when the influence of individual rainfall events was less dominant. For dry years, including through the persistent 2018–2020 west-central European drought, the analysis revealed a high degree of statistically significant coherence between groundwater levels and discharge at scales of 1 year and longer. Phase angles were used to estimate response times between the signals. A virtually instant response between groundwater and streamflow throughout the analysed period confirmed the importance of groundwater in sustaining streamflow, and the severe consequences of multi-year droughts that can deplete groundwater storage and, in extreme cases, lead to a cessation of stream flow. The study thus demonstrates the benefits of integrated time series analysis in understanding the important role of groundwater at time scales of ~3–6 years, green spaces and non-urban areas in the integrated management of complex urbanised catchments, even when dominated by urban storm runoff from impervious areas at sub-daily time scales.</p>","PeriodicalId":13189,"journal":{"name":"Hydrological Processes","volume":"39 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hyp.70190","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144695795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How and why this development occurred from the established southern celadon tradition has been a long-standing question for researchers. In this study, samples of celadon, coarse white porcelain, and fine white porcelain excavated from a newly discovered Sui-Tang dynasty kiln site at Jinyang Ancient City, Shanxi, were analyzed for their composition. The results show that a local clay rich in calcium and magnesium was used for the ceramic body. A high-calcium lime glaze was commonly applied, and two distinct glaze formulations were identified based on the ware type. The glaze technology followed two distinct pathways: a common base of body material and plant ash was supplemented with either a silica- and iron-rich material to achieve the celadon glaze, or with a feldspathic mineral to develop the white porcelain glaze. These different technical choices indicate a progression from imitation to innovation. Celadon production followed southern techniques, but the low iron content of local clays required the addition of an iron-rich material to the glaze. This limitation, in turn, revealed the natural advantages of the local materials for making white porcelain, prompting a move from costly imitation toward more resource-efficient innovation. This change also drove improvements in paste refinement, glaze formulation, and the use of sealed saggers for firing. The case of Jinyang reveals a key process behind the origin of northern white porcelain: local, independent innovation was driven by a combination of resource constraints and the imitation of existing technologies. This work provides new physical evidence for understanding the technological origins and regional variations of white porcelain in Northern China.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archaeological Science","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 106334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144702818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ocean heat transport cools the coldest Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) and increases the SST contrast. The warmest SSTs change much less with the addition of ocean heat transport because increased atmospheric transport moves energy away from the warm region. The ocean heat transport also increases the efficiency of cooling by outgoing longwave radiation in the subsiding region, allowing for a cooler global mean SST. At colder global mean temperatures ocean heat transport creates a high-contrast state in which abundant low clouds play a strong role in maintaining the SST contrast. This high-contrast state abruptly transitions to a warmer, low-SST-contrast state as the climate is warmed by increasing insolation. At warmer temperatures comparable to the current tropics, the low cloud response is less important than longwave emission in maintaining the SST contrast. Although ocean heat transport cools the climate, it does not much affect the sensitivity of the model climate to increasing insolation.

Many collision-related high- and ultrahigh-pressure lithologies are exposed around the western Himalaya; however, the rarity of similar units in the eastern Himalaya limits our understanding of the along-strike geodynamic evolution of India–Asia collision and the characteristics of the subducted India plate. Here, we document collision-related, low-temperature eclogite-facies metapelites from the easternmost Indus-Yarlung suture zone, which retain vital records of the timing of the initial India–Asia collision in this region. Petrology and phase diagram modeling indicate that the metapelite experienced cold subduction along a low thermal gradient (∼12 °C/km), reaching peak low-temperature eclogite-facies conditions (ca. 1.5 GPa and 590 °C), and was retrogressed to amphibolite-facies conditions during exhumation. Zircon and monazite U–Th–Pb chronology reveals new eclogite-facies ages of ca. 47 Ma, constraining collision of the Indian and Asian continents in the eastern Himalayan syntaxis at ca. 50 Ma, which is consistent with the timing in the western Himalaya and east-central Himalaya. This demonstrates that the initial India–Asia collision occurred quasi-synchronously along orogenic strike, although the maximum depth of subduction of continental material differed. Moreover, the subduction dynamics of continental crust within the collisional orogen exhibit pronounced lateral heterogeneity. These findings further demonstrate a significant change in slab dip angle, convergence velocity, and/or lithospheric strength along strike during closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean, which must be considered in future geodynamic simulations of the evolution of the orogen.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11481,"journal":{"name":"Earth and Planetary Science Letters","volume":"668 ","pages":"Article 119547"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144704470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This geometry resembles a source-to-sink fluvial system, but occurs on relatively flat terrain without a clear drainage direction. Here, we characterize 13 hourglass landforms and branched ridge networks that occur near the crustal dichotomy boundary and compare them with flume experiments and terrestrial analogs. We find that hourglass landforms are composed of branching and sinuous fluvial ridges, indicating that they are ancient river deposits exposed in positive relief due to substantial differential erosion. Typically, one side of the hourglass is composed of a ridge network with larger and more distinct ridges (type 1), whereas the other network has smaller cross-cutting ridges (type 2). In some cases, a remnant crater rim divides the two sides, with the type 1 network eroded into the crater wall, indicating a drainage network, and the type 2 network bounded by the crater, indicating an alluvial fan. Results indicate hourglass landforms are eroded remnants of small catchment-fan drainage systems that have experienced major climate change. They formed following impact cratering in a wet climate by runoff or seepage erosion where the crater breached the groundwater table. Subsequent wind erosion in a dry climate created ridge networks and completely removed the antecedent catchment-fan topography.
