Djerfisherite: Nebular Source of Refractory Potassium [PDF]
Djerfisherite is an important carrier of potassium in highly reduced enstatite chondrites, where it occurs in sub-round metal-sulfide nodules. These nodules were once free-floating objects in the protoplanetary nebula. Here, we analyze existing and new data to derive an equation of state (EOS) for djerfisherites of K_{6}(Cu,Fe,Ni)^{B} (Fe,Ni,Cu)^{C}_ ...

Post-eruptive mobility of lithium in volcanic rocks
Lithium, an increasingly economically important element, is also used to trace the cycling of materials through the Earth system. Here the authors show that post-eruptive processes such as degassing and groundmass crystallisation control the inventory of

Mineral chemistry and geothermobarometry of gabbroic dykes of the Garmab Ophiolite sequence (Northeast of Kamyaran) [PDF]
The Garmab ophiolite complex, a part of the Ophiolite-Radiolithic zone of Kermanshah, is located in the northeast of Kamyaran. In view of the Iranian geo-structural zones, this complex is situated between the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone and the Zagros thrust ...

Modeling the spatial evolution wildfires using random spread process
Abstract The study of wildfire spread and the growth of the area burned is an important task in ecological studies and in other contexts. In this work we present a model for fire spread and show the results obtained from simulations of burned areas. The model is based on probabilities of fire at different locations. Such probabilities are obtained from

Solving petrological problems through machine learning: the study case of tectonic discrimination using geochemical and isotopic data [PDF]
Machine learning methods are evaluated to study the intriguing and debated topic of discrimination among different tectonic environments using geochemical and isotopic data. Volcanic rocks characterized by a whole geochemical signature of major elements (SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3T, CaO, MgO, Na2O, K2O), selected trace elements (Sr, Ba, Rb, Zr, Nb, La ...
