Several techniques such as particle size distribution, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and geochemical weathering indices were applied to analyze the mineralogical, chemical and heavy metal characteristics of red clay soils. The particle size distribution reveals that the soil consists predominantly of fine-grained silt (∼80 %), with minor amounts of clay and sand, influenced by pedogenesis and weathering processes. Mineralogical analysis reveals dominance of quartz, kaolinite, illite, chlorite and iron oxides, suggesting a mix of weathered metamorphic and sedimentary rocks and intense weathering in a humid, cold Pleistocene climate.

In practical application, seismic impedance inversion is a frequently utilized technique. But it still has unsatisfactory protection of small reflectivity series in real seismic data. These small reflectivity series correspond to the weak reflections of geological interfaces, which is usually a sign of low acoustic impedance contrast in tunnels engineering or reservoirs of oil and gas in petroleum engineering, and other strata of geological significance. Hence, it is very important and meaningful to recover them from original seismic data. This paper adopts a novel algorithm named iterative natural thresholding algorithm (INTA) with the aim to improve the protection of weak reflections. Through an optimal thresholding operator and a concave regularization to enforce an optimal sparse solution, INTA can potentially recover these geological interfaces characterized by weak reflection. We utilize a synthetic seismic data profile and a real seismic data set to test its feasibility and show its better protection of small reflectivity series. From the inversion results, one can see that, compared to common used sparse constrained seismic inversion method, the inverted impedance by the proposed method can better characterize weak reflectors and help understand the structure of the earth more accurately.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144124487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under the influence of the India–Eurasia collision and Pacific plate subduction, Bohai Bay Basin has been subjected to active rifting and associated heat transfers since the late Cenozoic, resulting in two sets of deep and shallow oil and gas reservoir systems, which are related to the double-layer thermal structure. However, the evolution mechanism of this structure remains unclear because of lack of research on the vertical structure of the lithosphere in the area. We conducted finite-element simulations using seismic, geomagnetic, and geothermal heat flow data; results indicate synchronous uplift of deep mantle material and high-temperature crustal material in Bozhong Depression around 23 Ma. Around 5.3 Ma, retreat of the Pacific plate subduction accelerated and the deep mantle was uplifted by a small amount, creating a double-layer structure with differential uplift between the mantle and the crust. Successive synchronous and differential uplift in a double-layer thermal structure explains the anomalously high temperatures found during exploratory drilling in Bozhong Depression. Furthermore, the temperature of the sedimentary stratum in Bozhong Depression currently lies within the best window for oil and gas generation; it is the Golden Age for numerous oil and gas reservoirs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100196"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143895598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is much debate about the formation and evolution of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean. Knowledge on its pre-collisional tectonic evolution is of critical importance in precisely constraining its timing and history. The Kamyaran ophiolitic complex consists of several tectonically dismembered units including peridotite lenses and various gabbroic rocks as part of a Mesozoic ophiolitic belt extending from Kermanshah to Khoy in northwestern Iran. Mineral chemistry of the peridotites indicates that they underwent medium degree of partial melting (14–18%) and produced melts of MORB-like character in a suprasubduction setting with weak subduction-related signatures. The beginning of intra-oceanic subduction in the northeast margin of the Arabian plate caused metasomatism in the residual mantle of depleted peridotites. Gabbroic rocks display tholeiitic to calc-alkaline signatures with negative Nb, Th and Ti and positive Sr, Ba, U and Eu anomalies. Granular and pegmatoid gabbroic rocks with slight depletion of LREE and HREE pattern, crystallized from parental melts of N-MORB composition. This magma, characterized by negative Th, Nb, and Ti anomalies, was generated from depleted mantle. Pegmatoid gabbros are distinguished from granular gabbros by features such as more depleted REE, negative Th, Nb, Ti anomalies and lack of Eu positive anomalies. Microgabbroic dykes show N-MORB affinities and lack negative Nb and Ta anomalies.

Therefore, this paper aims to delineate the prospective geothermal area, utilizing remote sensing and geophysical (magnetic) data. This research maps the surface and subsurface geological and structural features (faults, fractures, and fold axes) and analyzes their densities using an integrated geological-remote sensing-geophysical investigation. Digital elevation models and Landsat-8 imagery, supported by field investigations, were used to analyze surface lineament density, while airborne magnetic data was used to analyze subsurface lineament density. The study area was subdivided into ten zones based on surface lineament density, with the northernmost zone presenting the highest lineament density. Subsurface lineament density analysis revealed five high-density zones, three of which correspond well with those identified on the surface. The study also identified the main high-permeability zones and associated geothermal anomalies in the Wadi Al-Lith area, improving the understanding of its potential geothermal resources. The results of this study could serve as a preliminary guide for further geothermal exploration, highlighting surface manifestations that require in-depth investigation using geoscientific and drilling tools.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143580378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
