GeoCoDA: Recognizing and Validating Structural Processes in Geochemical Data. A Workflow on Compositional Data Analysis in Lithogeochemistry [PDF]
Geochemical data are compositional in nature and are subject to the problems typically associated with data that are restricted to the real non-negative number space with constant-sum constraint, that is, the simplex. Geochemistry can be considered a proxy for mineralogy, comprised of atomically ordered structures that define the placement and ...

Abstract The high mountains of Taiwan provide a unique location for Quaternary palaeoclimate research in East Asia and the north‐western Pacific. This study applies geomorphological field mapping and rock surface exposure dating with paired (10Be/26Al) in situ‐produced terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides to identify and date glacial landforms and boulders ...

ABSTRACT Trace elements and minerals can be important for physiological and biochemical functions in aquatic organisms and are also permanently retained in metabolically inert structures in fish, such as otoliths, which can be examined to reconstruct environmental history.

Geochronology of metamorphic rocks
Metamorphic minerals are formed at moderate to high depth in the Earth's interior. Those that have been subsequently exhumed to the Earth's surface are those that survived metastably outside their stability fields. The majority of studied metamorphic rocks did not survive unscathed, and contains diachronic mineral assemblages that record a plurality of

Tectonics may affect closed watersheds used to monitor climate change and human activity effects
Abstract Playa lakes developed in closed watersheds have been used as environmental impact indicators (global warming, water extractions, etc.), but they could be also sensitive to active tectonics. Our study area is located in the main watershed in the western Betics, the northern branch of the Gibraltar arc, which is within the fold‐and‐thrust belt ...

Broken Beds, but better science; using multiple hypotheses to interpret geological data
Abstract In this study, we propose a multiple hypotheses approach to improve interpretations of limited remotely sensed datasets, such as sparsely exposed outcrops, subsurface datasets, or planetary objects using semi‐quantitative scoring and ranking of observable features.

Metamorphic processes, leading to mineralogical and structural changes of the rocks in response to physical (pressure, temperature) and chemical conditions, can be associated with the development of sinmetamorphic or post-metamorphic fractures.

The metamorphic complexes of the Patagonian and Fuegian Andes
The Patagonian and Fuegian Andes are made up in part by late Paleozoic to Mesozoic metamorphic complexes. The mostly low grade late Paleozoic Eastern Andes Metamorphic Complex (EAMC) crops out to the East of the Meso-Cenozoic South Patagonian batholith ...

Object-based Metamorphic Testing through Image Structuring [PDF]
Testing software is often costly due to the need of mass-producing test cases and providing a test oracle for it. This is often referred to as the oracle problem. One method that has been proposed in order to alleviate the oracle problem is metamorphic testing.
