{"title":"Interpreting structural configuration of the Sengkang Basin of Indonesia using edge detection and 3-D Euler deconvolution to satellite gravity data","authors":"J. Safani, Khalil Ibrahim, WA Deni, Al Rubaiyn, Firdaus Firdaus, Harisma Harisma","doi":"10.55730/1300-0985.1881","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.55730/1300-0985.1881","url":null,"abstract":": The East Walanae Fault Zone and the West Walanae Fault Zone are the two active fault segments in the south arm of Sulawesi. These fault segments are responsible for the formation of the Sengkang Basin. This geological complexity makes the Sengkang Basin a very interesting area to study. This research aims to (1) identify basin boundaries and lithological contacts; (2) estimate the positions of fault segments; and (3) model the basement beneath the Sengkang Basin. The free-air gravity anomaly from the GGMPlus dataset is employed and then corrected using Bouguer and terrain corrections to provide the complete Bouguer gravity anomaly (CBA). Polynomial surface fitting is used to separate the residual gravity data from the CBA. Nine edge detection filters are employed to identify structural configuration (i.e. basin boundaries, lithological contacts, and fault segments). The Euler deconvolution is utilized to describe the geological structure and estimate its depth. The radially average power spectrum and inversion of the residual gravity anomaly data are applied to analyze the basement of the study area. The results of the analysis show the superiority of the horizontal gradient of tilt angle (HGTA) technique in identifying basin boundaries and lithological contacts. Three new subbasins in the East Sengkang Basin are identified. Furthermore, the HGTA can also reveal lithological contacts very well. Tilt angle of the gradient amplitude (TAHG) technique provides an excellent description of the lineaments of both shallow and deeper buried geological structures. The TAHG approach and Euler deconvolution may define indications of depression zones and 24 new potential fault segments within the depression zones. A number of earthquakes that have happened near the fault segments support this fault assumption. The basement model derived from gravity data has extremely similar patterns and depth trends to that derived from seismic data","PeriodicalId":49411,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139264356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It consists mainly of amphibolite, metaultramafic rock, and gneiss, which are intruded by numerous pre-, syn-, and posttectonic felsic veins. The Almacık Complex is variously interpreted as a Cretaceous or Neoproterozoic ophiolite, or a Permian mafic-ultramafic complex representing the middle to lower crust of the Sakarya Zone. Herein, new petrological and geochronological data were presented from the Almacık Complex. Two-pyroxene geothermometry in the metawebsterites indicated that the Almacık Complex has undergone upper amphibolite-facies metamorphism at 750 ± 30 °C and 8 ± 4 kbar. U-Pb zircon and Ar-Ar ages from 11 samples indicate the presence of late Neoproterozoic, Permian, and Jurassic thermal events. Most of the Almacık Complex consists of late Neoproterozoic amphibolites and gneisses, representing the basement of the İstanbul Zone. This basement was intruded by voluminous mafic magma during the Late Permian. The basement and the Permian ultramafic-mafic rocks subsequently underwent upper amphibolite-facies metamorphism during the Jurassic, possibly at the base of a magmatic arc.","PeriodicalId":49411,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139264445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All of the springs have slightly acidic pH (in the range of 6) but one sample was marked by a pH value >11 as a consequence of serpentinization processes. The water chemistry denotes water/rock interactions with either magmatic or carbonatic rocks in a water reservoir equilibrated at temperatures estimated to be in the range of 58-162 °C. The stable isotope composition of the collected waters, in terms of dD and d18O, denotes a recharge from local meteoric waters. The dissolved gases denote the contribution of no atmospheric components. CO2 is the dominant dissolved component for most of the sample, while methane is the major component for the thermal water involved in serpentinization. Besides the main components CO2 and CH4 , the dissolved gases show significant concentrations of He, H2, and CO. The isotopic composition of helium shows 3 He/4 He ratios well above that of Air Saturated Waters (ASW = 1.39 × 10-6) clearly indicating a significant contribution of 3 He of mantle origin. Taking into account the location of some sampling sites nearby the Düziçiİskenderun Active Fault Zone and the associated mantle helium contribution, we propose that fluids/faults relationships have to be considered as responsible for the feeding of deep-originated fluids to the shallow groundwater. As mantle-derived fluids are also carriers of thermal energy, the collected results strongly suggest improving the knowledge of the study area, where hydrological and geochemical considerations coupled with the tectonic setting of the area should focus on the geothermal potential of the circulating waters.","PeriodicalId":49411,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135246520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to evaluate the geothermal system of CACC using the geological, structural, and hydrogeochemical properties that were obtained from previous studies. The present study investigated and evaluated the hydrogeochemical and isotopic properties of 762 water samples belonging to 45 different localities from 41 scientific studies. The result shows that CACC has different heat sources and different hydrogeochemical processes. Major element chemistry of the water reveals that the geothermal fluids are mostly of the Ca - Mg - HCO3 , Na - Cl - HCO3 , and Ca-Cl water types. Silica geothermometers suggest that the reservoir temperature ranges from 48 to 180 °C. Based on the δ18O - δD relationship, water samples have a high-altitude meteoric origin. Stable isotopic data indicate that the geothermal fluids are formed by local recharge and deep circulation of meteoric waters.","PeriodicalId":49411,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135246518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oxygen isotope studies have the potential to reveal important new information regarding borate formation, but unlike most other common oxygen-bearing salts precipitated from brines, there are no experimental data regarding the oxygen isotope fractionation factors between borates and brines. As a first attempt to address this gap in our understanding we have determined Δ18Oborate-water values between 0 and 100 °C using density functional theory calculations (DFT).

Located along the western coast of the Aral Sea, with a >150-km length and 3-km width, a giant active landslide complex, slides with a constant velocity of up to 60 mm/year. Systematic subsidence up to 5 mm/year is also observed along narrow strips of terraces that appear to result from rotations of fault-bounded blocks. The landslide deformation velocity does not correlate with the annual variations of the water level in the southwestern lake of the Aral Sea during the observation period of 2014-2022, indicating a long-term forcing of this landslide that is rather interpreted to be caused by the long-term sea-level drop. The lateral spreading involves the competent limestone beds lying horizontally on plastic clay- and evaporite-rich layers.

Intense volcanism and plutonism in the area from the Eocene to the Middle Miocene period caused several Pb-Zn-Cu±Ag±Au deposits to form. The geometry of the mineralizations is largely made up of polymetallic veins, manto-chimneys, and irregular replacement bodies. Ore-bearing and host rocks in the mineralization zones and the wall rocks outside the mineralization zones were compiled in this study. The most common minerals in the skarn zones are garnet, pyroxene, amphibole, epidote, chlorite, quartz, and calcite, while quartz, calcite, and sericite are formed in the hydrothermal alteration zones. Based on the geochemical analyses, the granitoidic rocks are granodiorite, whereas the volcanic rocks are dacite, andesite, trachyandesite, and basaltic andesite. According to the skarn-forming features, the Biga plutons have chemical characteristics that can form Pb-Zn, Cu, Fe, and Au skarns. The carbonate units in the area are made up of marble (fresh), marble (in the alteration zone), and ore calcite. The geochemical analyses of the carbonate units indicate that in composition the fresh marble is almost pure CaCO3 . However, the marble in the alteration zone has higher SiO2 , Fe2 O3 , MgO, and MnO contents than that of the fresh marble. These values are higher in ore calcite. The metasandstones mostly consist of arkose and may have contributed to the main mineralization as they have initial ore element enrichment. According to a hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) result, three different element groups were detected, these being Sb, Rb, Zr, Ag, Y, Mo, Hg, and Nb (increased during alteration), Sr and Ba (decreasing in alteration), and Cu, Au, As, and Cd (mineralization-related). Rare earth element (REE) characteristics indicate that hydrothermal fluids, responsible for the formation of the Biga Peninsula Pb-Zn deposits, are characterized by very low REE concentrations, and consequently the origin of these fluids is predominantly meteoric. The ∑REE, (Pr/ Yb)cn, Ce/Ce* values (8.63-24.79 ppm, 2.84-8.23, 0.38-0.82, respectively) of the marble in the alteration zone and ore-bearing skarns (3.34-27.20 ppm, 2.32-5.87, 0.36-0.83) support the findings of the meteoric contribution. Based on the similarities of the general trends and the abundances of REE elements in ore-bearing skarns and wall rocks, it is thought that wall rocks may have contributed part of the lead. The δ34S isotope compositions of galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite fall into a narrow range of around 0‰. This data indicates that the sulfur in the Pb-Zn±Cu sulfides in the Biga Peninsula is of magmatic origin (δ34Smin: -5.5, δ34Smax: 5.2, δ34Savg: -0.7; n: 40).

Zircon populations from Miocene-Pliocene ignimbrites of the Central Anatolian Volcanic Province (CAVP) were studied to reveal relations between the external morphology of zircons and petrogenetic processes. Descriptive grain shape parameters (e.g., minor and major axes, area, perimeter, aspect ratio, roundness, and circularity) were automatically measured from transmitted light images of zircons by a graphical application called AnalyZr. Principal component and cluster analysis were used to determine potential shape descriptors (perimeter, major and minor axis length, and maximum and minimum Feret) for characterizing grains from a particular rock. Accordingly, zircons from ignimbrites display morphological variations, which can be attributed to a specific magmatic process. Zircon isotopic compositions from previous studies indicate that ignimbrites are derived from mantle sources, but due to the distinct contributions of crustal components and periodic mafic recharge, isotopic heterogeneity occurs in the genesis of the ignimbrites. Furthermore, the typological evolution of zircons has already revealed that even a small decrease in saturation and crystallization temperature can significantly alter the external morphology of zircons. The clear imprint of hybridization in the zircon morphology of CAVP ignimbrites might provide information about the development of zircon within silicic melts. This study offers new insight into the integration of data on shape and isotope variations in zircon populations that can be traced back to the magmatic controls on zircon crystal growth.","PeriodicalId":49411,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135246522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
