Structural Geometry of the Taean Area in the Western Gyeonggi Massif, Korea: Insight from the Distribution Pattern of the Paleoproterozoic Seosan Group

The Seosan-Taean area on the Western Gyeonggi Massif of the Korean Peninsula preserves evidence of multiple geologic events from the Paleoproterozoic to the Early Mesozoic. The purpose of this study is to interpret the structural geometry of the Taean area that can explain the repetition of the Paleoproterozoic Seosan Group in the map. We have conducted structural geometry interpretation of the Taean area based on the various geological field data. Based on the variation in hinge orientations of the map-scale folds, the study area was subdivided into four structural domains (viz., northern, ce...

Application of High-Resolution Gravity and Magnetic Data for Fe-Mn-Pb Mineralization Prospecting in Jbel Skindis, Eastern High Atlas, Morocco

The Boumaadine mineralized field has long been known as a principal mining area in the Jbel Skindis, Eastern High Atlas, Morocco. The present work focuses on the interpretation of high-resolution gravity and magnetic data, along with geological field data, for polymetallic mineralization prospecting in the Boumaadine area. The goal is to unravel the complex subsurface structures, identify potentially mineralized locations, and establish mining exploration guides at a regional scale. The calculated pole-reduced magnetic map and the residual gravity map highlight several anomalies mainly located...

Mineralogical and Geochemical Evidence for Detecting K/Pg Boundary in Bade Section, Dohuk Area, Northern Iraq

The Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary (K/Pg) event, marked by the mineralogical and geochemical evidence and environmental catastrophes, is a contentious topic in geology. The mineralogical and geochemical anomalies at the K/Pg boundary worldwide were caused by an extraterrestrial object impact and/or prolonged Deccan eruptions at the end of the Mesozoic. The field observations show that the proposed K/Pg layer lies within the marl layers and consists of an iron layer composed of black spherules and matrix (iron spherule-rich layer). The petrographic study suggests that the sedimentation just belo...

Review of Pore-scale Reactive Transport Modeling for Microbial Processes in Subsurface Environments

Microorganisms play a central role in various biogeochemical processes in Earth’s near-surface environments. These microbial activities are not only controlled by the surrounding environmental conditions but also have a significant impact on the characteristics of their environments. Therefore, it is essential to quantitatively understand the interactions between microbial processes and their immediate surroundings at the pore scale for accurately estimating and predicting the fate of chemicals in subsurface environments. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of previous mathemat...

Media Analysis of Deep-sea Gas Field Exploration and Development Project in the East Sea

This study examined the implications of media communication for the smooth execution of large-scale national projects, such as geological resource exploration, using media keyword network analysis and topic modeling analysis. The ‘Great Whale Project’ was analyzed based on 595 articles, divided into initial and later stages of media coverage. During the initial stage, President Yoon Sukyeol emerged as a major keyword, boosting information dissemination but also causing unnecessary controversy regarding the reliability and expertise of the information. This led to the issue of energy resour...

Spatial Pattern Analysis of Landslide Conditioning Factors in Jecheon Area Using SHAP Method

AI models, which are frequently employed in landslide susceptibility analysis, are typically black-box models that lack the capacity to comprehend the analysis process. This deficiency can result in a reduction in the reliability of prediction results due to the challenge of comprehending the analysis or prediction process. To address this limitation, eXplainable AI (XAI) techniques are being utilized as a tool to explain the prediction process of AI models. Among the XAI techniques, prior studies have been predominantly conducted using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). However, the preval...
