Mineralization at Different Structural Levels in the Crust

open access: yesActa Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1042-1058, August 2025.
Abstract Metallogenic research on structural levels can reveal vertical patterns of mineralization and facilitate the deep exploration of economic minerals. However, research focusing on the correlation between structural levels and mineralization remains limited.

Foundational guiding principles for a flourishing Earth system

open access: yesBusiness and Society Review, Volume 130, Issue S1, Page S34-S52, Spring 2025.
Abstract In this perspectives article, we maintain that the current local to global sustainable development predicaments we face are the result of humanity's impact on the Earth System (ES)—that is to say, on the very systemic fabric of the ES (i.e., its functioning and configuration), combined with an insufficiently coherent application of sustainable
