In this research, drone-based photogrammetry was utilized for mapping geology with the objective of mineral exploration in Shahzadeh Abbas Cu deposit, Kerman province, Iran. mineralization is vein-type and follows geological structures. A low-cost drone used to collect data. spatial resolution 3.26 cm achieved by considering a flight altitude 70 m. To reach accuracy less than 5 cm, 70% lateral ...

Isosta.tica,lly compensated crusta,1 thickness variations and associated topographic contrasts a,t the surface of a planet result in lateral pressure gradients, which may cause the lower crust to flow and reduce the relief. Areas of thicker crust are genera, lly associated with more rapid relaxation of topography. On Mars, topographic features such as impa, ct basins a, nd the hemispheric dicho...

The 4.5 km deep IDDP-2 drill hole was drilled at Reykjanes, Iceland, in an active seawater-recharged hydrothermal system on the landward extension Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Drilling targeted a well-defined up-flow zone feeding Reykjanes geothermal reservoir, which produces fluids compositionally equivalent to basalt-hosted sea vents. Spot cores recovered from depths between 3,648 4,659 m consist of p...

The ca. 1.83 Ga Trans-Hudson orogeny resulted from collision of an upper plate consisting the Hearne, Rae, and Slave provinces with a lower Superior province. While geologic record peak metamorphism within orogen suggests that these were single amalgamated craton this time onward, lack paleomagnetic poles province following orogenesis has made coherency difficult to test. We develop high-qualit...

• Neoproterozoic metavolcanics from Wedel Jarlsberg Land and Nördenskiold Land, Svalbard trace magma-crust interaction. The crustal assimilants change geographically reflecting the depositional environment of sedimentary crust. metatuffs have mechanically assimilated shales during eruption. Late metavolcanic rocks occur along Southwest coast Svalbard. protoliths Nordenskiöld are mainly diabase,...
