Crust-Mantle Interaction Controls the Formation of High-Mg Adakitic Rocks: Evidence from Early Cretaceous Intrusive Complexes in Luxi Terrane, North China Craton [PDF]
Lithosphere, 2023 High-Mg adakite rocks preserve crucial information about the crust-mantle interactions during the magma evolution. The Luxi Terrane, southeastern North China Craton, stores a set of Early Cretaceous high-Mg adakite rocks; nevertheless, their petrogenesis

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2021 Remote sensing methods are a vital alternative for regional exploration surveys. Many ore deposits (e.g., epithermal, porphyry-related, volcanogenic massive sulphides, etc.) have distinct distribution patterns of alteration zones that can be used for ...
