Minerals are defined by their chemistry and crystalline structure. A common way to identify minerals involves using instruments such as an Electron Probe Micro-Analyzer (EPMA) to measure the chemistry of a grain or crystal and compare element ratios to known minerals, i.e. stoichiometry, but this requires user expertise and often some prior knowledge of expected minerals. Here, we present MIST (Mineral Identification by SToichiometry), a mineral-stoichiometry-based model to identify geochemical observations with elemental ratios that match natural mineral compositions. MIST uses normalized oxide weight percentages and stoichiometric ratios between elements in a detailed hierarchical rules-based classification scheme based on validated mineral formulas and compositions to identify mineral phases. The model includes tolerances allowing the vacancies and elemental substitutions common in natural mineral analyses. MIST is focused on rock-forming mineral species containing oxygen and is tested against a standard dataset of validated mineral analyses. The current version of MIST, 3.0, can identify 246 mineral species or stoichiometrically indistinguishable sets of species, with the capability to expand the number of species recognized in future versions. MIST outputs precise mineral formulas, relevant mineral endmembers, and values used in intermediate calculations. As with other mineral identification methods, stoichiometric mineral identifications should be compared to other datasets, including oxide totals, textures, or structural information. We used MIST to filter over a million mineral chemistry analyses in the GEOROC database, resulting in over 875,000 natural mineral analyses with standardized labels, formulas, and mineral descriptors that can be used for machine learning models. MIST provides a rapid, accurate, standardized way to recognize minerals in high-resolution chemical datasets while minimizing required mineralogical expertise.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 106021"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144879269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identifying areas susceptible to landslides is vital for disaster prevention and reduction. However, traditional models suffer from limited predictive accuracy, strong regularity in breakpoint selection for susceptibility zoning, and inconsistent predictions across different models, resulting in uncertainty in susceptibility assessment. To address these issues, this study proposes an innovative intelligent landslide susceptibility mapping approach that integrates ensemble learning, multi-model uncertainty analysis, and dynamic optimization. Focusing on Linxiang City, Hunan Province, China, this research synthesizes historical landslide inventories and field-identified unstable slopes as positive samples. Three base models were constructed: logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), and graph neural network (GNN). Ensemble learning using the stacking method was applied to combine these models. The ensemble further incorporates prediction uncertainty estimation and multi-dimensional k-nearest neighbor (KNN) adjacency matrix. Utilizing an attention mechanism, the model dynamically integrates geographic features, environmental factors, and prediction outputs. The final output is a prediction model that synthesizes spatial structure information and prediction uncertainties. For susceptibility mapping, this study proposes a dynamic optimization approach combining Natural Breaks, Frequency Ratio, and Equal Interval methods, determining optimal threshold combinations through relative density distribution of landslide occurrences to enhance susceptibility classification rationality. Model performance was evaluated and compared using area under roc curve (AUC), where a larger AUC signifies higher predictive accuracy. The results show that the ensemble model outperformed all others with an AUC of 0.95, compared to the base models' AUCs of 0.82 (LR), 0.84 (RF), and 0.87 (GNN). This demonstrates that the ensemble learning methods that incorporate uncertainty achieve higher accuracy in risk identification than conventional models. The dynamic classification method also shows a better performance over conventional approaches in high-susceptibility classification precision and landslide density differentiation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 106042"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144925125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, magnetic maps were often noisy and unreliable for practical applications. In this work, we aim to fill this gap by introducing a deep learning (DL) approach to overcome these challenges and produce accurate, high-resolution magnetic field maps from smartphone data. To address the limitations of extensive real-world data collection, we developed an innovative two-stage simulation framework to generate the required training datasets. First, the theoretical magnetic field produced by ferromagnetic objects in a 30 m × 30 m area was computed to serve as ground truth data for the network. Second, a simulation model was implemented to replicate the data acquisition process of smartphone magnetometers. This model included real-world survey protocols, noise factors, sensor behavior, and simulated trajectories based on real world recorded data.

To address these issues, we propose CL4EF, a contrastive learning framework that leverages electromagnetic and geoacoustic observations for earthquake forecasting. Specifically, we introduce the synchronous response consistency hypothesis, assuming that different observations within the same time window should respond consistently to the same physical process. Following this hypothesis, we design a contrastive loss that attracts observation pairs from the same station and time window (positives) and repulses others (negatives), enabling cross-observation interaction modeling for the downstream forecasting task. Experimental results demonstrate that CL4EF achieves state-of-the-art performance, improving AUC by 22%.
