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 ...

We present PetroChron Antarctica, a new relational database including petrological, geochemical and geochronological data sets along with computed rock properties from geological samples across Antarctica. The contains whole-rock geochemistry major/trace element isotope analyses, geochronology multiple isotopic systems minerals for given samples, as well an internally consistent classification ...

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic hindered the ability to conduct field geology courses in a hands-on and boots-on traditional manner. In response, we designed multi-part virtual module that encompasses many of basic requirements an advanced exercise, including designing mapping strategy, collecting processing observations, synthesizing data from field-based laboratory analyses, communicating res...

This article provides a background for scientists interested in a general overview of the geology and geomorphology of Turkmenistan. The basement of Turkmenistan is a complex amalgamation of arc-related terranes developed in the Asiatic and northern Paleotethys oceanic domains during Late Paleozoic to Triassic times. A major part of the country coincides with the Turan Platform, where a thick s...
