Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Germanium (Ge) is a scarce, but not an extremely rare element in the Earth's crust (about 1.6
ppm Ge crustal average). Principal geochemical substitutions and mineral associations of …

Lisheen is a strata-bound zinc-lead deposit formed during the Mississippian by replacement
of hydrothermally dolomitized, grossly stratiform breccia bodies located near the base of the …

Abstract The Jinding Zn–Pb sediment-hosted deposit in western Yunnan, China, is the fourth
largest Zn deposit in Asia. Based on field observations of the ore textures, breccias, and the …

Little is known about the range or controls on the zinc isotope composition of terrestrial
materials and no systematic studies have been carried out on ore-forming systems. We have …

In this paper we review a number of the major basin-hosted ore deposits in Europe and
argue that most of them are formed in extensional settings. The mineralizing fluids originated …

Many fluid inclusion studies have been carried out in the Irish Midlands basin ore field
(Lower Carboniferous) since the earliest work by Ed Roedder in the late 1960s. Results …

The Fankou giant deposit (with exceeding 10 Mt Zn+ Pb metals, grading at 15 wt%) is a
carbonate-hosted, stratabound Zn-Pb deposit in the northern Quren Basin, South China …

A new dynamic model of dolomitization predicts a multitude of textural, paragenetic,
geochemical and other properties of burial dolomites. The model is based on two …

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) harm the
ecosystem and human health, especially in urban areas. Identifying and understanding their …
