Characteristics and control modes of geothermal fields in deep coal reservoirs in the Linxing-Shenfu block by Lifu XU, Yuhu BAI, Bingxiang XU, Weiqiang HU, Jianqi CHEN, Yong LI

“…Consequently, lower-temperature geothermal fields are formed. Four temperature control modes of geothermal fields in the study area are identified: (1) The universal mode with temperature controlled by horizontal strata, characterized by normal geothermal gradients but reservoir temperatures varying with the burial depth. (2) The mode with temperature primarily governed by lateral heat transfer, occurring in Zijinshan basement uplift. (3) The mode with temperature primarily influenced by faults, observed in the northern Linxing and western Shenfu blocks. (4) The composite mode with temperature dominated by both faults and groundwater, occurring in the eastern Shenfu block. …”

Response of phytoplankton photophysiology to varying environmental conditions in the Sub-Antarctic and Polar Frontal Zone. by Wee Cheah, Andrew McMinn, F Brian Griffiths, Karen J Westwood, Simon W Wright, Lesley A Clementson

“…In contrast, phytoplankton in the PFZ exhibits low F'(q)/F'(M) (~ 0.2) and high concentrations of photoprotective pigments under low light environment. Strong negative relationships between iron, temperature, and photoprotective pigments demonstrate that cells were producing more photoprotective pigments under low temperature and iron conditions, and are responsible for the low biomass and low productivity measured in the PFZ. …”
