Modern marine seismic reflection data have allowed for the study of morphology submarine channels in a 3D perspective. This presents quantitative analysis continental slope channel complexes within Canterbury Basin (New Zealand). It aims to characterize and facies better understand their formative sedimentary processes, paleoenvironment, petroleum prospectivity. Submarine morphometric parameter...

The Pb isotopic composition of mineral exploration samples can be used to help determine their metallogenic association and hence assess prospectivity in geological provinces where there is an established isotope database. We have developed such a database, available online, models that relate signatures known events Proterozoic terrains northern Australia. Two terrain-specific model curves, th...

Abstract Metallogeny is the science of ore and mineral deposit formation in geological space time. interdisciplinary by nature, comprising elements natural disciplines such as planetology to solid state physics chemistry, volcanology. It experimental forefront research bold thinking, based on an ever-growing foundation knowledge. Therefore, metallogeny not a closed system knowledge but fast-gro...

Hyperspectral remote-sensing techniques offer an efficient procedure for mineral mapping, with a unique hyperspectral remote-sensing fingerprint in the longwave infrared spectral region enabling identification of the most abundant minerals in the continental crust—quartz and feldspars. This ability was examined by acquiring airborne data with the AisaOWL sensor over the Makhtesh Ramon area in I...
