3‐D Seismic Investigation of a Gas Hydrate and Fluid Flow System on an Active Mid‐Ocean Ridge; Svyatogor Ridge, Fram Strait by Kate A. Waghorn, Stefan Bünz, Andreia Plaza‐Faverola, Joel E. Johnson

“…Large‐scale basement faults identified in the seismic data are interpreted as detachment faults, which have exhumed relatively young ultramafic rocks. These detachment faults act as conduits for fluid flow, and are responsible for the formation of folds in the overlying sediments that are breached by faults. …”

Zircon U–Pb–Hf constraints from Gongga Shan granites on young crustal melting in eastern Tibet by Nick M.W. Roberts, Michael P. Searle

“…The lack of widespread exposed melts this age is due either to the lack of melt-fertile rocks in the middle crust, the very low erosion level of the Tibetan plateau, or to a lack of mechanism for exhuming such melts. …”

Geology and Petrogeochemistry of Lijiapuzi Nb-Ta Granitic Pegmatite Deposit: Implications for Ore Genesis and Prospecting by Jianfei Fu, Yuzeng Yao, Jing Liu, Zining Li, Sanshi Jia, Yemao Pang

“…The lithogeochemical features indicate that Lijiapuzi pegmatoids are rich in silicon and alkaline, poor in calcium, magnesium, titanium and phosphorus, and belong to peraluminous granitoid rocks. The enrichment of large ion lithophile elements (LILEs) and depletion of high field-strength elements (HFSEs), the distinct right-inclined REE pattern with obvious Eu negative anomaly, lower ratio of Nb/Ta and higher ratio of La/Nb and Rb/Sr indicate that the pegmatite was of a crustal origin and formed in relatively extensional tectonic setting of post-orogenesis. …”

3D Basin‐Scale Groundwater Flow Modeling as a Tool for Geothermal Exploration: Application to the Geneva Basin, Switzerland‐France by Marion Alcanié, Marine Collignon, Olav Møyner, Matteo Lupi

“…We propose based on the simulation results a conceptual model showing that fluid flow is driven by the down‐welling of meteoric waters that cool down rocks at the edge of the Geneva Basin. In turn, this temperature drop promotes the up‐welling of warmer fluids in the center of the basin where we suggest that exploration for geothermal resources should focus. …”

Mapping Geothermal Indicator Minerals Using Fusion of Target Detection Algorithms by Mahmut Cavur, Yu-Ting Yu, Ebubekir Demir, Sebnem Duzgun

“…In previous studies, eight fundamental algorithms were used for mineral mapping utilizing USGS spectra, a collection of reflectance spectra containing samples of minerals, rocks, and soils created by the USGS. We used an ASD FieldSpec 4 Hi-RES NG portable spectrometer to collect spectra for analyzing ASTER images of the Coso Geothermal Field. …”

APPLICABILITY AND PITFALLS OF CALCIMETRY IN LOW-CALCIUM CARBONATE SEDIMENTS by Cecilia Cantera, Ivana Laura Ozán

“… In Earth and Environmental Sciences, pressure calcimetry is probably the most efficient and fast method to determine CaCO3 content in rocks, sediments and soils. However, measurements of low-CaCO3 samples can be less reliable by calcimetry, depending on the instrument. …”

Tectonic Fabric in the Banda Arc‐Australian Continent Collisional Zone Imaged by Teleseismic Receiver Functions by Ping Zhang, Meghan S. Miller, Vera Schulte‐Pelkum

“…We observe distinct double polarity‐reversal arrivals with opposite polarity that reflect an anisotropic layer with orogen‐parallel strikes in the shallow crust beneath Timor and Savu, interpreted as metamorphic rocks. Fabrics oriented E‐W are imaged beneath the Flores and Lomblen that host active volcanoes, where we find interesting correlations with magmatic structures. …”

Substantiation of optimal parameters of horizontal systematic drainage in modern water management and climatic conditions in the south of Ukraine by O. A. Babitska, O. I. Kharlamov, D. P. Savchuk, I. V. Kotykovych, G. V. Voropay

“…Based on the analysis of nomograms, it was found that the main factors influencing the distance between drains for horizontal drainage systems are filtration coefficient, drainage rate, and distance to impermeable rocks. Nomograms enable to quickly perform calculations of the main parameters of systematic horizontal drainage systems, taking into account modern conditions of water supply and to specify the estimated cost of system construction.…”
