Provenance and hydrological event records of water-laid sediments at the Sanxingdui site
Open AccessQian Wu, Fang Xiang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2026
The evolution of river systems has profoundly shaped the emergence, migration, and decline of ancient civilizations. The Sanxingdui site on the Chengdu Plain, one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, witnessed an abrupt civilizational decline whose causes remain debated. Min River avulsion and the Jintang Gorge damming-backwater event have been proposed as potential triggers, while the migration routes of the Sa…

An estimate of global cardiovascular mortality burden attributable to ambient ozone exposure reveals urban-rural environmental injustice
Open AccessHaitong Zhe Sun, Zhe Sun et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024
Escalating health risks associated with ambient ozone (O3) pollution presents a pressing challenge to global population well-being. An ever-increasing body of evidence supports an association between O3 pollution and cardiorespiratory conditions. However, previous studies only consider exposure-attributable respiratory deaths, completely disregarding O3-induced cardiovascular mortality. An updated estimate is urgently needed to accurately assess …
