Automated Mineral Identification and Rock‐Type Classification of Lunar Mare Basalts Using SEM Images

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract We present an automated system for identifying minerals and classifying rock types in Apollo lunar mare basalts using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imagery. Mineral segmentation is based on a U‐Net architecture, supplemented by two scale‐aware models designed to incorporate pixel size information.

Alteration of a Mantle‐Derived Dunite Boulder in Jezero Crater, Mars

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract In 2023, the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover explored the youngest preserved deposits on the Western fan of Jezero crater, Mars: a field of meter‐scale boulders dispersed above the previously explored sandstone and siltstone units. Reflectance spectra of the boulders delineated two classes, one olivine‐bearing and one pyroxene‐bearing.

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 506-538, June 2026.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Chromite placer occurrences of the Volga-Ural basin – genesis, sources and industrial potential

open access: yesGeoresursy
Chromium is a strategic metal, but more than a half of Russia’s needs are met by imports, so new deposits of chromites, including unconventional placer deposits, are of industrial and scientific interest. Previous studies and current works of the authors

High temperature oxidation resistance of rare earth chromite coated Fe-20Cr and Fe-20Cr-4Al alloys

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2007
Doped lanthanum chromite has been used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) interconnects. The high costs involved in obtaining dense lanthanum chromite have increased efforts to find suitable metallic materials for interconnects.

Chromites Reduction Reaction Mechanisms in Carbon–Chromites Composite Agglomerates at 1773 K

open access: yesISIJ International, 2007
Fe–Cr–C production is a very high electrical energy consuming process. When self-reducing agglomerates are used, it is expected to decrease up to 10% of this electrical energy. This paper presents the fundamental aspects of the reactions involved in reduction of chromites by use of self-reducing agglomerates.

Pleistocene and Holocene Mobility of Detrital Platinum in Southern New Zealand: Review and Regional Synthesis

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Detrital platinum group minerals (PGM) are rare and distinctive in Pleistocene–Holocene sedimentary systems of the southern South Island, thereby enabling tracking of their long‐distance transport for ∼200 km. The first ∼100 km of transport involved Pleistocene glaciofluvial processes southwards down the Waiau River, where PGM (principally Pt–Fe and Ru–

The podiform chromitites in the Dagküplü and Kavad mines, Eskisehir ophiolite (NW-Turkey): Genetic implications of mineralogical and geochemical data

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2009
Mantle tectonites from Eskisehir (NW-Turkey) include high-Cr chromitites with limited variation of Cr#, ranging from 65 to 82. Mg# ratios are between 54 and 72 and chromite grains contain up to 3.71 wt% Fe2O3 and 0.30 wt% TiO2.

Feasibility of Crosshole Seismic Tomography for Monitoring In Situ CO2 Mineral Storage in Basalts: A Rock Physics‐ and Seismic Modeling Study

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract In situ CO2 mineral storage is gaining increasing attention as a carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions. So far, in situ CO2 mineral storage projects have been monitored predominantly using fluid‐ and isotope geochemical methods.
