Influence of Regional Erosion and Sedimentary Loading on Fault
Four groups of discrete element models (DEMs) were set-up to simulate and analyze the influence of regional erosion and sedimentary loading on the formation and spatial-temporal evolution of faults in the southern and central Longmen Shan (LMS) active fold-thrust belt. The interior characteristics of faults in the southern and central LMS fold …
A method to characterize turquoise deposits in china using sedimentary
'Fingerprint' identification is the key to turquoise provenance studies, but previous studies have met with limited success in China. Turquoises in China mainly occur in altered sedimentary rocks and are formed by weathering, leaching and sedimentation. This paper evaluates the potential for sedimentary environment sensitive elements to be …

The resulting sedimentary layer underneath NE96 is ~2.90±0.21 km thick with an average Vp/Vs ratio of 2.20±0.23 and an S wave velocity increasing from 0.99±0.07 km/s at the surface to 2.50±0.21 km/s at the bottom of the layer. The uncertainties here are calculated from the standard deviation of the 1,000 resampled models and are generally ...

Identifying the sources of organic matter in marine and riverine
Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes are useful tracers for distinguishing marine and terrestrial plant sources of sedimentary organic matter (OM), and for identifying OM from different types of plants. By analyzing the carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of marine and riverine sediments from Bohai Bay and its catchment, we were able to …

Detrital-zircon geochronology and sedimentary provenance
Detrital zircons are ubiquitous in sandstones, because zircon is highly resistant to both chemical and physical weathering. The age of a single zircon grain is interpreted to be the crystallization age of a rock in the provenance. A sedimentary deposit likely contains components from multiple crystalline sources as a result of multiple magmatic ...

Recent advances in lithium extraction from lithium-bearing clay
The current lithium production based on the three types of resources decreases in the order of brine-type (∼64%), pegmatite-type (∼29%), and clay-type (∼7%). Among these, brines and several ores (e.g., spodumene, lepidolite) were considered valuable for Li extraction due to the economic enrichment of lithium.

SediRate‐Fischer plots as a tool to illustrate relative sea‐level and
Based on the assumption that relative sea-level and lake-level changes may control sedimentary rates of subaqueous terrigenous sediments within basins, the CDMR could change inversely with relative sea or lake level. Thus, this tool could be interpreted as an indicator of relative sea-level and lake-level changes in terrigenous successions.
