The purpose of this study is to determine geochemical anomalies on lithogeochemical data from Ardestan area, Central Iran, using concentration-number (C-N) fractal modeling and staged factor analysis. Staged factor analysis is used to the recognition of genetic correlation and elimination of non-indicator elements in three steps. Factor scores of elements were calculated and geochemical data cl...

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...

Recently, deep learning algorithms have been popularly developed for identifying multi-element geochemical patterns related to various mineralization occurrences. Effective recognition of anomalies is essential mineral exploration, and effective extremely dependent on integral clustering. Deep can achieve impressive results in comparison the prior methods clustering indicator elements correlate...

Abstract The study is aimed to apply the Pb isotope fingerprinting technique for tracing pollution of urban surface deposited sediment (USDS). USDS reflect changes in geochemical conditions occurring environment. samples were collected residential areas with multistory buildings Russian cities: Magnitogorsk, Nizhny Tagil, Tyumen, Ufa, and Chelyabinsk. Elements concentrations stable isotopic rat...

A reliable geochemical paleo-indicator for phosphorus remains elusive, despite the importance of understanding historical changes in the nutrient status of aquatic ecosystems. We assessed the potential of phytate (salts of mvo-inositol hexakisphosphate) as a novel phosphorus-specific paleoindicator by measuring its concentrations in dated sediments from an embayment in Helsinki, Finland, with a...

Diamictites are poorly sorted sediments characteristically carrying coarse-grained clasts in a fine-grained matrix. They have generally been considered of glaciogenic or glaciomarine origin. Recently, however, it has been suggested that some massive tillite/diamictite layers could represent impact breccias. An earlier petrographic study of rock and mineral clasts from Dwyka Group diamictites re...

Historical sediment nutrient concentrations and heavy-metal distributions were studied in fi ve embayments in the Gulf of Finland and an adjacent lake. Th e main objective of the study was to examine the response of these water bodies to temporal changes in human activities. Sediment cores were collected from the sites and dated using 210Pb and 137Cs. Th e cores were analyzed for total carbon (...

in this research, elemental and chemical characteristics of atmospheric dust particulates including major and trace elements in two synoptic meteorological stations (abadan and urmia cities) during dust events and ambient periods have been evaluated. results showed that during dust events to ambient periods in both stations, major elements including ca, mg, al and trace elements comprised p and...
