There is a great significance of revealing the characteristics of regional environment evolution and global change to the research on arid Lop Nur areas. By the "Ear" features of Lop Nur in remote sensing image, the spectrum, soil and surface parameters were analyzed. The differences in total salt content in soil and the surface structure bring are cause directly for the "Ear" features in remote sensing image; The results of the analysis of spectrum, total salt content and particle size are in good agreement. "Ear" features recorded the process of environmental change. The process implys that Lop Nur dried up gradually under the impact of global change. The adjustment during the process of drying up let Lop Nur experience two relatively humid climates, with the previous a little longer, the later very short.

The Taitema Lake Basin serves as an ecological barrier in the south of the Tarim Basin, connecting with the Qiemo, Ruoqiang, and Milan oases, collectively preventing the expansion and merging of the desert, specifically inhibiting the convergence of the Taklamakan Desert and Lop Nur. In recent years, with changes in the natural environment and an increase in water usage, the downstream flow of the Tarim River has decreased, leading to the gradual drying up of Taitema Lake and exacerbating desertification, resulting in frequent sandstorms. Subsequently, under the influence of ecological water transfer projects, Taitema Lake has gradually recovered, and the ecological environment has improved.

It is crucial but challenging to detect intermediate or end products promptly. Traditional chemical detection methods are time-consuming and cannot detect mineral phase content. Thermal infrared hyperspectral (TIH) technology is an effective means of real-time imaging and can precisely capture the emissivity characteristics of objects.

Protecting and restoring the degraded arid lakes are globally urgent issues. We document a potential recovery of the dried salt-lake, Lop Nur called "the Sea of Death" which is located at the terminus of the largest inland basin in China, the Tarim River Basin. The changes and relationship of surface water with climate parameters and groundwater in the basin over the last 30 years are analyzed, by using satellite remote sensing and land data assimilation products.

In this work, the iron-containing smectite nontronite (NNT) was artificially prepared by hydrothermal process and used as a heterogeneous catalyst to activate bisulfite (BS) for degradation of tetracycline (TC). Two NNT samples with different iron content (NNT1 and NNT2) were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS and SEM-EDS analysis. Under dark condition, the TC removal rates of NNT1/BS and NNT2/BS reached about 91.

Although the trends and driving mechanisms of Holocene climate change in arid Central Asia (ACA) on various timescales have attracted much research interest over the past few decades, a major question remains regarding whether the changes were gradual or abrupt. We reconstructed the pattern of Holocene climate change at Lop Nur saline lake in northwestern China, ACA, using multiple climatic proxies (grain size, TOC, sediment color, and magnetic properties). The results demonstrate that the Holocene climatic pattern in the Lop Nur region during the past 8400 years can be divided into two distinct stages, with the boundary dated to ~4000 cal.
