Microelements in soils of forest-steppe sequent series in central part of Tobol-Ishim interfluve by Elizaveta Yurievna Konstantinova

“…The data may indicate that soils of the central part of Tobol-Ishim interfluve are enriched in Cu, Pb, Co and depleted in Ni, Zn, Sr, Mn compared to the average content in soils and soil-forming rocks of the south of Western Siberia. It was revealed that soils of the plot, despite the provision in relief, are low-contrast in particle size distribution, and this soil attribute has virtually no effect on the distribution of trace elements.…”

In Situ Geochemical and Sr–Nd Isotope Analyses of Apatite from the Shaxiongdong Alkaline–Carbonatite Complex (South Qinling, China): Implications for Magma Evolution and Mantle Sou... by Jian Li, Chenyang Ye, Jifeng Ying

“…The weak, negative Eu anomaly in hornblendite apatite, together with the lack of Eu anomalies in the bulk rocks, indicates a relatively reduced magma. The Sr–Nd isotope data of the apatite in SXD carbonatite, falling on the East African carbonatite line (EACL) and close to the field of Oldoinyo Lengai carbonatite, indicate that the SXD carbonatite is derived from a mixed mantle source consisting of the HIMU component and subducted sedimentary carbonates. …”

An Experimental Investigation of the Hydraulics and Pollutant Dispersion Characteristics of a Model Beaver Dam by James Hart, Matteo Rubinato, Tom Lavers

“…The ability to model these parameters for dams with variable lengths of porous and impermeable sections is important as the porosity of beaver dams can vary with depth, depending on which sections are constructed from branches, rocks, or compacted mud. The analysis and modelling developed in this paper show that a single, general relationship can be obtained between discharge and flow-depth regardless of the presence of sections that are both porous or impermeable, provided the relative depths of these sections are known and accounted for. …”

Analysis on the laying method and thermal insulation effect of tunnel insulation layer in high-altitude cold regions by Ming Zhang, Tie Wang, Xiaochuan Wang, Wentao Wu, Jiaqi Guo

“… To mitigate freeze-thaw damage in tunnels located in high-altitude cold regions, insulation layers are implemented to prevent the freezing of surrounding rocks. Currently, the selection of laying methods lacks a solid scientific basis, with the merits and demerits of various techniques remaining insufficiently evaluated. …”

Carbon mitigation using CarbFix, CO2 plume and carbon trading technologies by Kriti Yadav, Anirbid Sircar, Namrata Bist

“…In India generally the carbon sequestration is done by storing CO2 in sedimentary basins where it gets capped by the impermeable cap rocks. The study aims to unfold the other techniques of carbon sequestration in subsurface formations, except for narrating the different types of carbon capture and sequestration techniques along with its storage in different types of environments. …”

Geochemistry and tectonomagmatic setting of theGharuchah-Sofla intrusions (South Mahabad)‎ by Abdolnaser Fazlnia, Amir Pahnaei

“…The intrusions resulted from the partial melting of a metasomatized mantle wedge of supra subduction zone typical of subduction-related magmas. These rocks were evolved in an active continental volcanic arc with respect to the Laramide orogeny and the Neotethys subduction under the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone at the post Cretaceous. …”

Cu and Au Mineralization of the Tolparovo Ore Occurrence: Evidence for the Formation of Redbed Copper Occurrences in Neoproterozoic Deposits of the Southern Urals by Sergey Vasilievich Michurin, Gulfiya Mavletovna Kazbulatova

“…Siliciclastic and carbonate deposits of this level were accumulated at low paleoequator latitudes in arid climates of continental and coastal–marine environments close to evaporite ones. Rocks of this stratigraphic interval demonstrate increased background concentrations of copper (~2–5 times exceeding the clark), which explains the stratification of redbed copper ore occurrences, indicating a predominantly sedimentary copper source. …”
