Our department was established in 1995 to meet local demand for Earth science expertise. This is because as a densely populated city, Hong Kong’s subtropical location, local geology and limited water and mineral resources present significant societal challenges. We are proud of these origins and continue to help improve our home through our research, teaching and graduates.

Ambient noise differential adjoint tomography reveals fluid-bearing rocks near active faults in Los Angeles
Xin Liu, Gregory C. Beroza & Hongyi Li
Water scarcity is a pressing issue in California. We develop ambient noise differential adjoint tomography that improves the sensitivity to fluid-bearing rocks by canceling bias caused by noise sources. Here we image the shallow S-wave velocity structure using this method beneath a linear seismic array (LASSIE) in Los Angeles Basin, which shows significant velocity reduction marking a major regional water producer, the Silverado aquifer, along with other fluid-bearing structures. Based on the S-wave tomography and previous P-wave studies, we derive the porosity in Long Beach and discover that the rock from 1-2 km depth surrounding the Newport-Inglewood Fault contains abundant fluids with pore-fluid fraction ~0.33. The high-porosity rock around the fault coincides with previously observed week-long shallow seismicity south of LASSIE array in Long Beach. The imaged S-wave velocity in the top layer shows a similar trend in the geotechnical layer Vs 30, suggesting additional applications to ground motion prediction.

First magnetic and spectroscopic constraints on attenuated space weathering at the Chang’e-5 landing site
Yuqi Qian, Long Xiao, James W. Head, Joseph Michalski
Dr. Yuqi Qian and Dr. Joseph Michalski from the Department of Earth Sciences, The University of Hong Kong, has publised a paper in Icarus on Nov. 24, 2023, documenting the space weathering effects of the newly returned Chang’e-5 lunar soils. In this paper, they conducted the first vibrating sample magnetometer measurement, the first electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer measurement, and the first Mössbauer spectrometer measurement of Chang’e-5 soils. They found that Chang’e-5 lunar soil is among the most immature returned lunar soils from a never-sampled young geological unit.

Apatite crystals reveal melt volatile budgets and magma storage depths at Merapi volcano, Indonesia. Journal of Petrology egaa100.
Li, W.*, Costa, F. & Nagashima, K. (2021)
Merapi Volcano in central Java (Indonesia) is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and it had about 27 eruptions in the last century (e.g. Voight et al., 2000). Most eruptions at Merapi are dome-forming events with VEIs (Volcanic Explosivity Index; Newhall & Self, 1982) between 1–3, such as that occurred in 2006 (Ratdomopurbo et al., 2013). But in 2010, Merapi produced an unexpectedly explosive eruption (VEI 4), which turned out to be the largest eruption in the last hundred years and caused severe hazards to the local community (Surono et al., 2012). Although the eruptions in 2006 and 2010 have very different eruptive styles, most of the materials emitted from the two eruptions (except some from the very last eruptive stage in 2010; Komorowski et al., 2013) show similar petrological and geochemical features, i.e. similar compositions of the bulk rocks (as basaltic andesite), mineral assemblages (see below) and phenocryst compositions (Costa et al., 2013; Preece, 2014; Preece et al., 2014; Erdmann et al., 2016; Preece et al., 2016). A critical question is what caused the larger and more hazardous eruption in 2010, compared to the 2006 eruption and earlier events, and in relation to this we provide below a brief review of the observations from the literature.

As one of the major Archean microcontinental blocks in the North China craton, the Yinshan block consists of the Guyang granite-greenstone belt and the Wuchuan high-grade complex, both of which preserve large volumes of Neoarchean tonalitic-trondhjemitic-granodioritic (TTG) gneisses

Early Prosperity of Iron Bacteria at the End of the Paleoproterozoic Era
Qiu, Y., Qin, L., Huang, F., Zhao, T., & Li, Y. (2022).
Various iron formation (IFs) document the interplay between the geosphere and the early biosphere during their co-evolution. At the transition between the Paleo- and Mesoproterozoic eras, the oxidation of the atmosphere and ocean resulted in the waning of the typical marine deposited banded IFs. Here, we report the ∼1.7 Ga Yunmengshan IF at the southern margin of the North China Craton deposited in the intertidal to upper subtidal zone belonging to river delta of coastal environments. The combined REE + Y patterns and negative δ56Fe with positive δ53Cr values reveal terrestrial precipitation of iron oxide and an enhanced continental oxidative weathering at the end of Paleoproterozoic era due to increased atmospheric oxygen level. The oxygen level happened to have facilitated the early prosperity of microaerophilic Fe(II)-oxidation bacteria on Earth's terrestrial surface, which is recorded by the coastal shallow water iron deposits globally characterized by their small scale and subaerial features.

Photoferrotrophic Bacteria Initiated Plate Tectonics in the Neoarchean
Zhang, S., Li, Y., Leng, W., & Gurnis, M. (2023)
Plate tectonics distinguishes Earth from the other terrestrial planets but its initiation mechanism and onset time are debated. We propose plate tectonics was initiated by the deposition of magnetite-rich banded iron formations (BIFs) through biogeochemical iron cycling in Neoarchean oceans. In the photic zone of proto-continental margins, photoferrotrophic bacteria efficiently oxidized the dissolved Fe(II) and induced massive precipitation of ferric oxyhydroxide, which would rapidly react with Fe(II)-rich hydrothermal fluids from coeval vigorous volcanism in Neoarchean oceans to produce magnetite-rich BIFs. Mechanical models demonstrate that the localization of high-density BIF deposition near proto-continents induces collapse of the lithosphere and can initiate the earliest subduction. The peak deposition of BIFs in 2.75–2.40 Ga provides a time constraint on the inception of plate tectonics.

Oxygenated deep waters fed early Atlantic overturning circulation upon Antarctic glaciation
Wang, H., Liu, W., Lu, H., Zhang, Y., Liang, Y., He, Y., Bohaty, S. M., Wilson, P. A. & Liu, Z.
: We used a novel method to trace oxygenation using microbial biomarkers to infer the history of early Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Our results suggest that AMOC-feed waters became better oxygenated upon initiation of Antarctic glaciation at the Eocene/ Oligocene transition, ~34 Ma. Our findings indicate a close association between the inception of Antarctic glaciation and AMOC and suggest that both vertical mixing and wind-driven upwelling in the Southern Ocean were key to fully establishing AMOC as an agent of deep-ocean ventilation.

We have found contrasting Holocene temperature trends over mid-latitude Eurasia, with strong implications for the Holocene temperature conundrum, highlighting that spatial patterns of Holocene temperature changes should be re-considered in both record integrations and model simulations.
