Wonders never cease

Recent research has unveiled a new gold-sulfur complex, enhancing our understanding of gold deposit formation. Utilizing numerical modeling, scientists have identified the conditions under which gold is enriched in magmas rising from the Earth's mantle. The study highlights the role of a gold-trisulfur complex, which forms under specific pressures and temperatures in subduction zones, where continental plates converge. This discovery provides a plausible explanation for high gold concentrations in certain mineral systems, offering valuable insights for future exploration. The findings are detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, contributing significantly to the field of Earth sciences.

I am pleased to share with you all that, I and my coauthors, Dr. M. Santosh, (School of Earth Sciences and Resources, China University of Geosciences, Beijing, China), Dr. M. Satyanarayanan (CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad), Prof. N. Srinivas (Department of Environmental Studies, GITAM University, Visakhapatnam), and Prof. Harish Gupta (Department of Civil Engineering, Osmania University, Hyderabad) have published a review paper in Geoscience Frontiers (Elsevier, IF: 8.9) recently on a vital subject – “Lithium: A review of applications, occurrence, exploration, extraction, recycling, analysis, and environmental impact“ Our article is an Open Access publication and can be downloaded using the following link: https://lnkd.in/gr2EceNX One of the Reviewers made very positive comments like the following during its review and revision time – The manuscript comprehensively reviews lithium, a critical metal resource of increasing importance in contemporary society. As the evaluation and exploration of lithium become increasingly crucial, this article provides an extensive overview of its properties, exploration methods, recycling techniques, and environmental impacts. By reading and gathering so much cutting-edge literature, the article serves as a guiding reference, akin to a dictionary, for future researchers. It represents a solid and comprehensive piece of work. The manuscript could be accepted after minor revisions. Prof. George J.

🗻 Back after six weeks on the top of the world! 🤩🔝 Within the #NamCore project, an international research team drilled from a platform on Lake Nam Co down to a depth of over 500 meters into the Nam Co Basin, Tibetan Plateau. LIAG scientists successfully conducted the borehole measurements. We are very happy about the large, high-resolution data set that we collected! ✅ 🌏 The measurements are pivotal to understand the geological history and climate dynamics of this high-altitude region, which has implications for climate change research globally. 📈 To define parameters for future #climatechange scenarios (IPCC) and their consequences for ecosystems, it's necessary to improve our knowledge of timing, duration, and intensity of past climatic variability and its environmental impact, not only on short but also on long geological time scales. 💧 Considering that almost one third of the world's population depends on water supply from the Tibetan Plateau, the future development of the monsoon on the Tibetan Plateau would have a major societal impact. Many thanks to our partners, without whom this would not have been possible: Universität Greifswald (PI), Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (PI), University of Jena, University of Bremen, University of Geneva, University of Stockholm, The Manchester Metropolitan University, University of Newcastle, University of Strasbourg, University of Bern, University of Haifa ...and many more.

🎇 [Latest article]New method for landslide susceptibility evaluation in alpine valley regions that considers the suitability of InSAR monitoring and introduces deformation rate grading By Zhou, Dingyi, Zhifang Zhao, Wenfei Xi, Xin Zhao, and Jiangqin Chao.  https://lnkd.in/gMDn3H3S This study presented a novel approach for #landslide susceptibility assessment in alpine valley regions , which incorporates Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (#InSAR) data and introduces a grading system based on deformation rates, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of susceptibility evaluation. The study demonstrates that the proposed method, which includes a Particle Swarm Optimization-Back Propagation (PSO-BP) algorithm and high-resolution image integration, enhances grading accuracy by 37.84% to 60.91% and provides a reliable and effective model for evaluating landslide susceptibility in regions like the Dongchuan district in southwest China .
