A core-based XRF scanning workflow for continuous measurement of mineralogical variations in clastic reservoirs [PDF]
MethodsX, 2022 Clastic reservoir core is routinely characterized using conventional, destructive spot sampling techniques. Whilst spot sampling provides useful textural and compositional information, the samples are typically widely spaced (∼ 25 cm), and hence ...

Coal seam in-situ inorganic analysis based on least angle regression and competitive adaptive reweighted sampling algorithm by XRF–visNIR fusion [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The fusion of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and visible near infrared spectroscopy (visNIR) has been widely used in geological exploration. The outer product analysis (OPA) has a good effect in the fusion.

Sedimentary climatic record in the Galician Internal Basin: sediment provenance, transport time and hydrodynamics over the last 60.000 years. [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 The sediments of the Galician Interior Basin are influenced by the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and by their proximity to the Western Iberia continental landmass , and thus provide an adequate archive to study the peculiarities of ...
