The B and Pb isotope systems are widely applied tracers of recycling processes occurring during subduction. Studies examining these complementary systems as a pair enjoy considerable success, where B primarily records the thermal and fluid evolution of the subducting slab, whereas the tripartite Pb system constrains the source of subducted material returned to volcanic arcs. However, interpreta...

Identification of the geological facies and their distribution from seismic and other available geological information is important during the early stage of reservoir development (e.g. decision on initial well locations). Traditionally, this is done by manually inspecting the signatures of the seismic attribute maps, which is very time-consuming. This paper proposes an application of the Expec...

Gran Dolina is a cavity infilled by at least 25 m of Pleistocene sediments. This sequence contains the TD6 stratigraphic unit, whose records include around 170 hominin bones that have allowed the definition of a new species, Homo antecessor. This fossil accumulation was studied as a single assemblage and interpreted as a succession of several human home bases. We propose a complete stratigraphi...

Abstract The Algyő High (AH) is an elevated crystalline block in southeastern Hungary covered by thick Neogene sediments. Although productive hydrocarbon reservoirs are found these sequences, numerous fractured also occur the pre-Neogene basement of Pannonian Basin. Based on analogies, rock body AH might play a key role fluid storage and migration; however, its structure therefore reservoir pot...

The solubility of uranium (U) in hydrothermal fluid is thought to be controlled by oxidation. In general, mainly transported as U(VI) oxidized fluid, but precipitated U(IV) reduced fluid. However, many geological observations indicate that metamorphic fluids, which are buffered rocks with protoliths such pelite or altered marine basalt, not enriched U. To explore the reason low U we simulated h...

Facies models are used to better capture heterogeneity in mineral deposits and petroleum reservoirs. Facies are often considered as mutually exclusive and exhaustive at the scale of the geological model. These two assumptions are needed for sequential indicator simulation and most other facies modeling techniques; however, the assumption that an entire grid block consists of one facies type bec...

The garnet amphibolite schist is associated with the gabbroic unit of Mawat ophiolite, Kurdistan region, Northeast Iraq, in imbricated zone Zagros orogenic belt. Field observation, petrographic study, mineral chemistry, geochemical data, and thermodynamic modeling were used to demonstrate identification, predict observed stable assemblages, validate protolith. assemblages prograde are (pyrope-a...

Introduction and General Characteristics: The fan-shaped deposits of the Tharsis Montes generally share three major facies: 1) Ridged facies, 2) Knobby facies, and 3) Smooth facies. The ridged facies consists of narrow, parallel, concentric ridges interspersed in places with small hills [1]. The hummocky or knobby facies consists of dense concentrations of small sub-km scale circular to irregul...
