Together with generalized self-similarity and the fractal spectrum, local singularity analysis has been introduced as one part of the new 3S principle and technique for mineral resource assessment based on multifractal modeling, which has been demonstrated to be useful for anomaly delineation. Local singularity is used in this paper to characterize the property of multifractal distribution patt...

Introduction Volcanism on Venus has produced a rich array of volcanic landforms [1], which in turn suggests a broad range of magma production and differentiation environments. In the next decade, it is possible that one or more landers associated with New Frontiers or Flagship class missions to Venus will provide new geochemical observations of the Venus surface. The goal of this work is to mak...

Combined geostatistical and multifractal power-spectrum modelling of geochemical distributions can provide suitable indicators of metal dispersion, and is capable of analysing complex problems for targeting potential areas for mineral exploration. A case study analysing lake sediment geochemical data for the Gowganda area is presented and development of the methodology for spatial analysis of t...

The basic differences between the application of till geochemistry in Finland and Canada are that (1) there is far less integration of glacial geology and geochemical exploration in North America than in Finland and (2) the application of new glacial sedimentology models and examination of basic assumptions about the history and dynamics of Scandinavian ice sheets are less emphasized in Scandin...

Mapping of carbonatites and related mineral deposits has occupied prominent place in resource exploration programs given their potential to host valuable concentrations critical metals such as rare earth elements niobium. Based on spectral characteristics most indicative minerals for these rocks, a mapping approach was developed using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer (...
