By quantitatively analyzing 100 soil samples collected across Fukushima Prefecture in 2011, researchers found that cesium-rich microparticles (CsMPs) were distributed over a wide area, with abundances ranging from 0 to 52.3 particles g⁻¹ and accounting for up to 61.9% of the total radioactivity in some samples. Their results further revealed that most CsMPs originated from a single radioactive plume released on 15 March 2011, whereas later emissions contained mainly water-soluble cesium rather than particulate CsMPs.

Researchers at National Taiwan University and partner institutions, led by research associate Dr. Raúl Tapia and Associate Professor Sze Ling Ho at the Institute of Oceanography, have uncovered new evidence that Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) — a distinct layer sitting 500–1,500 meters below the ocean surface — played a pivotal role in a major atmospheric carbon dioxide transition that occurred roughly 450,000 years ago. The findings, published in Science Advances, challenge the prevailing view that changes in the deepest layers of the Southern Ocean alone drove this shift, and point instead to intermediate-depth circulation as a previously underestimated regulator of Earth’s carbon cycle.
