The field of geosciences and natural hazard modelling has also benefitted immensely from the introduction of novel algorithms, the availability of large quantities of data, and the increase in computational capacity. The enhancement in algorithms can be largely attributed to the elevated complexity of the network architecture and the heightened level of abstraction found in the network's later layers. As a result, AI models lack transparency and accountability, often being dubbed as “black box” models. Explainable AI (XAI) is emerging as a solution to make AI models more transparent, especially in domains where transparency is essential. Much discussion surrounds the use of XAI for diverse purposes, as researchers explore its applications across various domains. With the growing body of research papers on XAI case studies, it has become increasingly important to address existing gaps in the literature. The current literature lacks a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities, limitations, and practical implications of XAI. This study provides a comprehensive overview of what constitutes XAI, how it is being used and potential applications in hydrometeorological natural hazards. It aims to serve as a useful reference for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders who are currently using or intending to adopt XAI, thereby contributing to the advancements for wider acceptance of XAI in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12711,"journal":{"name":"Geoscience frontiers","volume":"15 4","pages":"Article 101815"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987124000392/pdfft?md5=515d378679c5d4f285f6f3e7cb956bad&pid=1-s2.0-S1674987124000392-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140052266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main controversies in the existing tectonic models of the Itmurundy Zone are about the timing of subduction and accretion, the direction and kinematics of subduction and the number of oceanic plates. A new model for the early Paleozoic tectonic story of the Itmurundy Zone is postulated in this paper, based on new detailed geological and U–Pb detrital zircon age data, combined with previously documented geological, U–Pb age, microfossil, geochemical and isotope data from igneous rocks, deep-sea sediments and greywacke sandstones. The present study employs the Ocean Plate Stratigraphy (OPS) model to explain the tectonic processes involved in the evolution of the Itmurundy Zone and to present a holistic story of Ordovician oceanic plate(s), which accretion formed an accretionary complex. The detailed mapping allows distinguishing three types of OPS assemblages: (1) Chert-dominated, (2) OIB-hosting, and (3) MORB-hosting. The U–Pb ages of detrital zircons from sandstones of OIB and Chert types show unimodal distributions with similar main peaks of magmatism at 460–455 Ma in the provenance, and their maximum depositional ages (MDA) span 455–433 Ma. Two samples from OPS Type 3 show the peaks of magmatism both at ca. 460 Ma and the MDA of 452 Ma and 459 Ma, respectively. The MDA of sandstones and microfossils data from chert show the younging of strata to the south and SE in Types 1 and 2 and to NEE for Type 3 (in present coordinates) suggesting double-sided subduction to the NNW and SEE and, accordingly, the co-existence of pieces of two oceanic plates in Ordovician time. The U–Pb zircon data from both igneous and clastic rocks indicate a period of subduction erosion in early Ordovician time. As a whole, the accreted OPS units of the Itmurundy Zone record the timing of subduction and accretion from the early Ordovician to the early Silurian, i.e., 60 Ma at shortest.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12711,"journal":{"name":"Geoscience frontiers","volume":"15 4","pages":"Article 101814"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987124000380/pdfft?md5=64aa93d8b8f0b74d06f6464d77190325&pid=1-s2.0-S1674987124000380-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139945792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has a total reserve of &gt; 240 t at average gold grade of 0.62 g/t, making it one of the largest open pit gold mines in China. The steeply dipping, large-tonnage, low-grade, vein- or veinlet-type gold orebodies are hosted in strongly-deformed Mesoproterozoic carbonaceous schist of the Bayan Obo Group. The laminated/boudinaged veins/veinlets in the sinistral ductile–brittle shear zones are dominated by quartz, biotite, gold-bearing löllingite, pyrrhotite, (arseno)pyrite, with minor native gold, titanite and xenotime. In this paper, we present new in situ U–Pb geochronological data on magmatic zircon from the pre-ore dikes, on metamorphic and hydrothermal xenotime, and on hydrothermal titanite from the hydrothermally altered carbonaceous schist and auriferous quartz–sulfides veins/veinlets, as well as He-Ar isotopic analysis on gold-bearing (arseno)pyrite in the <em>syn</em>-ore stage. The metamorphic xenotime U–Pb age of 426 ± 6.0 Ma (2σ) records a regional metamorphic event, possibly related to the accretion of the Bainaimiao arc onto the NCC. Two pre-ore andesitic dikes yielded similar emplacement ages at ∼ 278 Ma constrained by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb zircon data. Hydrothermal xenotime grains from the altered carbonaceous schist and auriferous quartz–sulfides veins yielded U–Pb ages of 256.0 ± 4.1 Ma (2σ) and 254.4 ± 2.1 Ma (2σ), respectively, overlapping with that of the hydrothermal titanite at 255.4 ± 0.8 Ma (2σ) from the laminated quartz–sulfides veinlets. This indicates that the gold mineralization occurred at ca. 255 Ma. The ∼ 255 Ma gold mineralization age is much younger than the previously reported Early–Middle Permian regional magmatic activity (ca. 291 Ma to 268 Ma), and may be associated with the regional sinistral strike-slip event in the late orogenic cycle related to the collision between the Siberian craton and the NCC.

These rocks have zircon U–Pb ages of 152–146 Ma, with high Sr contents and Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios, low MgO, Yb, and Y contents, and depleted Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic compositions, consistent with an adakitic affinity that was generated by the partial melting of subducting oceanic crust. We compare the Late Jurassic adakitic magmatism with the spatiotemporal evolution of magmatism in northern Tibet to infer oceanic plateau subduction and subsequent flat-slab subduction in the Bangong–Nujiang Tethyan Ocean. This tectonic model explains (i) slab-derived adakitic magmatism, (ii) the observed lull in magmatic activity, (iii) intraplate compression and uplift, and (iv) subduction jump and initiation. We also propose that the subduction of heterogeneous oceanic crust (i.e., buoyant oceanic plateau subduction) provided favorable conditions for tectonic exhumation, vertical slab tearing, and the formation of Cu–Au deposits.

Of utmost importance for early animal evolution is the likely shift in redox conditions of bottom waters, which might have taken place in distinct pulses during the late Ediacaran and early Paleozoic. To track redox changes during this transition, we present new trace element, total organic carbon and both inorganic and organic carbon isotopes, and the first iron speciation data on the Tamengo and Guaicurus formations of the Corumbá Group in western Brazil, which record important paleobiological changes between 555 Ma to &lt; 541 Ma. The stratigraphically older Tamengo Formation is composed mainly of limestone with interbedded marls and mudrocks, and bears fragments of upper Ediacaran biomineralized fossils such as <em>Cloudina lucianoi</em> and <em>Corumbella werneri</em>. The younger Guaicurus Formation represents a regional transgression of the shallow carbonate platform and is composed of a homogeneous fine-grained siliciclastic succession, bearing meiofaunal bilateral burrows. The new iron speciation data reveal predominantly anoxic and ferruginous (non-sulfidic) bottom water conditions during deposition of the Tamengo Formation, with Fe<sub>HR</sub>/Fe<sub>T</sub> around 0.8 and Fe<sub>Py</sub>/Fe<sub>HR</sub> below 0.7. The transition from the Tamengo to the Guaicurus Formation is marked by a stratigraphically rapid drop in Fe<sub>HR</sub>/Fe<sub>T</sub> to below 0.2, recording a shift to likely oxic bottom waters, which persist upsection. Redox-sensitive element (RSE) concentrations are muted in both formations, but consistent with non-sulfidic bottom water conditions throughout. We interpret the collected data to reflect a transition between two distinct paleoenvironmental settings. The Tamengo Formation represents an environment with anoxic bottom waters, with fragments of biomineralized organisms that lived on shallower, probably mildly oxygenated surficial waters, and that were then transported down-slope. Similar to coeval successions (e.g., the Nama Group in Namibia), our data support the hypothesis that late Ediacaran biomineralized organisms lived in a thin oxygenated surface layer above a relatively shallow chemocline. The Guaicurus Formation, on the other hand, records the expansion of oxic conditions to deeper waters during a sea level rise. Although the relationship between global biogeochemical changes and the activities of early bioturbators remains complex, these results demonstrate an unequivocal synchronous relationship between oxygenation of the Corumbá basin and the local appearance of meiofaunal bioturbators.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12711,"journal":{"name":"Geoscience frontiers","volume":"15 4","pages":"Article 101810"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987124000343/pdfft?md5=3fa20db538d8f71157862d2ddbd93863&pid=1-s2.0-S1674987124000343-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139877203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The propane from the Turpan-Hami Basin exhibited negative <em>Δ</em><sub>C-T</sub> (<em>δ</em><sup>13</sup>C<sub>central</sub>-<em>δ</em><sup>13</sup>C<sub>terminal</sub>) values ranging from −3.9‰ to −0.3‰, with an average of −2.1‰. Propane from the Ordos Basin, Sichuan Basin, and Tarim Basin showed positive <em>Δ</em><sub>C-T</sub> values, with averages of 1.3‰, 5.4‰ and 7.6‰, respectively. Position-specific carbon isotope compositions reveal the precursors and the propane generation pathways in the petroliferous basins. Propane formed from the thermal cracking of Type III kerogen has larger <em>δ</em><sup>13</sup>C<sub>central</sub> and <em>δ</em><sup>13</sup>C<sub>terminal</sub> values than propane from Type I/II kerogen. The precursor for natural gases collected in this study is identified to be Type III kerogen. Comparing our data to calculated results for thermal cracking of Type III kerogen, we found that propane from the low-maturity gas reservoir in the Turpan Basin was generated via the i-propyl radical pathway, whereas propane from the Sulige tight gas reservoir in the Ordos Basin was formed via the n-propyl radical pathway. <em>δ</em><sup>13</sup>C<sub>terminal</sub> values covered a narrow range across basins, in contrast to <em>δ</em><sup>13</sup>C<sub>central</sub>. The terminal carbon position in propane is less impacted by microbial oxidation and more relevant to maturity levels and precursors. Thus, <em>δ</em><sup>13</sup>C<sub>terminal</sub> has a good potential to infer the origin and maturity level of natural gas. In examining post-generation processes, we proposed an improved identification strategy for microbial oxidation of natural gases, based on the position-specific carbon isotope distributions of propane. Samples from the Liaohe Depression of the Bohai Bay Basin and the Sichuan Basin were detected of post-generation microbial oxidation. Overall, position-specific carbon isotope composition of propane provides new insights into the generation mechanism and post-generation processes of natural gas in the geological period at the atomic level.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12711,"journal":{"name":"Geoscience frontiers","volume":"15 4","pages":"Article 101806"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987124000306/pdfft?md5=24f06c7e20463bb07e51958396fb5729&pid=1-s2.0-S1674987124000306-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139825083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
