Multispectral remote sensing of hydrothermal alteration in volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) ore systems mafic crust is relatively uncommon, part due to the short-wave infrared spectral similarity several key minerals: epidote, chlorite, actinolite, and serpentine. In this study, we developed regional mosaic generation classification workflows for Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflectio...

The mineral ore potential of many mountainous regions of the world, like the Kurdistan region of Iraq, remains unexplored. For logistical and sometimes political reasons, these areas are difficult to map using traditional methods. We highlight the improvement in remote sensing geological mapping that arises from the integration of geomorphic features in classifications. The Mawat Ophiolite Comp...

The metamorphic sole rocks at the base of mantle peridotites from the Mersin ophiolite consist of amphibolites and metasedimentary lithologies. Mineral parageneses in the metamorphic sole rocks exhibit amphibolite and greenschist facies assemblages. Geothermobarometric studies based on mineral assemblages and chemical compositions of minerals indicate that average metamorphic temperature during...

The petrology and geochemistry of serpentinized harzburgites within the Feather River Ophiolite in northern California were investigated to constrain the origin of serpentinization. Trace-element systematics indicate that serpentinization was associated almost solely with relatively low temperature hydrothermal addition of seawater and not with the addition of metamorphic fluids associated with...

SUMMARY The Semail Ophiolite in eastern Arabia is the largest and best-exposed slice of oceanic lithosphere on land. Detailed knowledge tectonic evolution shallow crust, particular during after ophiolite obduction Late Cretaceous times contrasted by few constraints physical compositional properties middle lower continental crust below obducted units. role inherited, pre-obduction crustal archit...

glipizide has been found to form inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-cd) in solution and in solid state. the present study was undertaken to determine a suitable method for scaling up glipizide-β-cd inclusion complex formation and to evaluate the effect of some parameters on the efficiency of complexation. the solid inclusion complexes of glipizide and β-cd were prepared at a molar ratio...

Chromite is a strategic mineral resource for many countries, and chromite deposit occurrences are widespread in the ultramafic rocks of Yarlung Zangbo ophiolite belt, particularly harzburgite unit mantle section. Conducting field surveys complex poorly accessible terrain challenging, expensive, time-consuming. Remote sensing an advanced method achieving modern geological work powerful technical...

The structure and lithological sequences of ophiolites provide critical information for reconstructing their tectonic setting thus, the history paleo-oceanic basins in which they formed. Our systematic mapping three best-preserved massifs Xigaze ophiolite from middle segment Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) South Tibet, revealed a nearly intact ophiolitic sequence that has largely escaped empl...

The Kermanshah ophiolite complex is a part of the Mediterranean–Zagros–Oman Tethyan ophiolites, located in the structural–tectonic zone of western Iran in the northern part of the Zagros main thrust. Doleritic sheeted dykes are well exposed within the ophiolite in the south of Sahneh. These dykes contain high MgO, Na2O, low TiO2 (2O5, and K2O contents, and high FeOt/MgO and LILE/HFSE ratios. Th...
