Discrimination of the blind and dispersed mineralization deposits is a challenging problem in geochemical exploration. The frequency domain (FD) of the surface geochemical data can solve this important issue. This new exploratory information can be achieved using the interpretation of FD of geochemical data, which is impossible in spatial domain. In this research work, FD of the surface geochem...

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...

GeoChip is a comprehensive functional gene array that targets key functional genes involved in the geochemical cycling of N, C, and P, sulfate reduction, metal resistance and reduction, and contaminant degradation. Studies have shown the GeoChip to be a sensitive, specific, and high-throughput tool for microbial community analysis that has the power to link geochemical processes with microbial ...

Regional exploration and identification of anomalies can be done by geochemical data resulted from stream sediments. In this paper, fractal methods of concentration-number and concentration-area were used for regional studies, and abnormalities of elements including gold, arsenic, bismuth and mercury were studied. Statistical processing of these elements took place with the help of 1063 samples...

Biomineralization marks one of the most significant evolutionary milestones among the Eukarya, but its roots in the fossil record remain obscure. We report crystallographic and geochemical evidence for controlled eukaryotic biomineralization in Neoproterozoic scale microfossils from the Fifteenmile Group of Yukon, Canada. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals that the microfo...

We welcome the opportunity to respond to the Comment of Bence et al. (2000) regarding the suitability of the new geochemical parameter we have introduced. Part of their comment, however, addresses issues either not directly related to our paper, or issues published elsewhere. The lengthy comment seems a disproportionate reaction to what was a paper of limited scope, simply introducing one new g...

Surface geological and geochemical mapping have been key technical contributors to many gold discoveries over the past 25 years. However, in the last ten years there has been a growing emphasis on using geophysical techniques to compliment them in covered terrains. As the search for gold deposits under covered areas expands, there will be increasing emphasis on integrating the geoscientific dis...

A multi-component reactive transport model, coupled to an existing thermal, hydraulic and mechanical model is investigated. The model is based on conservation of mass/energy principles for the flow and stress strain equilibrium for the mechanical behaviour. The resultant model is coupled to a geochemical model in order to capture geochemical interactions. Numerically, the Galerkin finite elemen...
