Tracing ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism of crustal rocks through the geological
record is a key for understanding the evolution of plate tectonics on Earth due to the linkage …

The major-element chemical composition of garnet provides valuable petrogenetic
information, particularly in metamorphic rocks. When facing detrital garnet, information about …

Technological progress and the rapid increase in geochemical data often create bottlenecks
in many studies, because current methods are designed using limited number of data and …

The composition of igneous biotite is a potential indicator of the geologic environment of its
host rock. Here, we apply two machine learning models− eXtreemly Greedy tree Boosting …

This study uses the random forest machine learning algorithm to classify and predict Cr-
spinel formation environments in mafic–ultramafic rocks. Cr-spinel is an early-crystallized …

Quartz is one of the most abundant mineral in the continental crust, occurring in a wide
variety of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. It incorporates several trace …

Highlights What are the main findings? Laboratory SAG mill acoustics are sensitive to
different feed size fractions. Supervised classification models and acoustic emissions were …

Geochemical discrimination of basaltic magmatism from different tectonic settings remains
an essential part of recognizing the magma generation process within the Earth's mantle …

This article reports on the state-of-the-art and future perspectives of machine learning (ML)
in petrology. To achieve this goal, it first introduces the basics of ML, including definitions …

Wind energy is one of the most growing renewable energy. A proper maintenance
management policy is needed to ensure the viability of wind farms. Supervisory control and …
