Advanced NMR Methods for Position-Specific Isotope Analysis
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is characterized by its non-destructive character and its intrinsic quantitative properties. These two features make...

Plagioclase: The System An-Ab
The feldspar of common basalts is by no means pure anorthite, but instead an intermediate plagioclase near An50. This means that we could much...
-
Diopside-Albite: A Complex System
It would be folly to suppose that diopside-albite is a binary system. We have already found, in Di-An, that diopside shows incorporation of Al when...

Diopside-Anorthite-Albite
The system Di-An-Ab allows us to study a basaltic model consisting of diopside and an intermediate plagioclase, a model which is much closer to the...

Forsterite-Diopside-Silica: Pyroxenes and Their Reactions
The system forsterite-diopside-SiO2 (Fo-Di-SiO2 or “FDS”) is one of the most illuminating systems in basalt petrology; it is also one of the most...

Introduction
Basalt is the most abundant rock on Earth. It forms the ocean ridges, slides off onto the ocean floor, and eventually dives back down. Basalt is the...

Conclusion: Stable Isotope Tracers Are Useful for the Identification of Pollutants in Agro-ecosystems
Pollutant management in agro-ecosystems is a complex challenge that requires two key questions to be answered: (i) how to improve identification and...

Principles of Mixing and Fractionation Models
Upfront consideration of possible mixing scenarios is required to achieve an optimal sampling design and deliver a successful project. This will also...

Stable Oxygen Isotope Composition of Phosphates to Investigate Phosphorus Cycling in the Soil–Plant Continuum
This chapter provides an overview of how the stable isotope composition of oxygen bond to phosphorus, δ(18O)PO4, in phosphate can be used to...

Efficiency of Soil Geochemistry as a Powerful Tool in Targeting of Hidden Deposits During Mineral Exploration: A Case Study of the Sediment-Hosted Kibamba Copper-Cobalt Deposit of the Lufilian Arc, Democratic Republic of Congo
The Lufilian Arc of Neoproterozoic formed during the Pan-African orogeny in the Democratic Republic of Congo and to its south-east in the Republic of...

Amphibole-Veins Formation Within a Syn-Tectonic Contact Aureole (Elba Island, Italy)
The eastern part of Elba Island (northern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) is an exhumed sector of thinned continental crust, intruded by a monzogranitic...

3D Modeling and Resources Estimation of Coal Old Piles in Jerada Mine, Oriental Morocco
Besides being a cause of environmental problems, tailings and waste rock can also be potential sources of valuable minerals and metals. The Jerada...

Radiogenic Heat Production and Rare-Metal Mineralization Affinity of Anorogenic Acid Volcano-Plutonic Rocks from Neoproterozoic Tusham Ring Complex, NW Indian Shield. Constraints on Radioactive, Trace and Rare Earth Element Distributions
Data on radio-elemental abundances, radiogenic heat production and rare-metal affinity of acid volcano-plutonic rocks of Riwasa, Nigana, Dulheri,...

Sensor-Based Sorting in Mining Industry: Selection of Appropriate Sensing Technologies for a Copper Deposit
Mining companies are increasingly turning to industry 4.0 to tackle economic challenges and to boost production efficiency. As one of the...

Successive Fracturing and Fluid Flow Events During Thrust Sheet Emplacement: The Montsec Thrust Sheet (Southern Pyrenees)
Field data together with petrographic and geochemical analyses (δ13C, δ18O) of vein cements and host rocks are used to reconstruct the fluid flow...

Lithofacies Associations and Depositional System of the Muti Formation, Oman Mountains
The Upper Cretaceous Muti Formation of the Aruma Group was the first unit deposited in the Oman foreland basin in the Oman Mountains. The Oman...

The First Geological Investigation of Mekong River Rapids, Loei Province: Implications for a New Geologic Map and Tectonics in the Thai-Laos Boundary
The Mekong River Rapids outcrop in Loei Province appeared in the middle part of the Mekong River, a site of national geoheritage at the boundary...

Early to Middle Cambrian Fluvial-Aeolian Interplay and Marine Transgression Depositional System of the Peri-Gondwana Terranes: An Example from the Amin Formation of the Haushi-Huqf Region, Oman
The Amin Formation, the lowermost part of the Mahatta Humaid Group (Haima Supergroup), is a tight oil-producing reservoir in the interior Oman Salt...

Geochemical Perspective on the Diagenesis of the Buah Carbonates from the Jabal Al Akhdar, Oman Mountains
The Buah Formation has been recognized as an active exploration target due to the potential for exposed carbonate rocks, which can be used as a proxy...
