Siliciclastic sediments owe their origin mainly to land sources. New discriminant-function-
based major-element diagrams for the tectonic discrimination of siliciclastic sediments from …

A brief critical review is presented of the geological, geophysical, geochemical, and plate
tectonic evidence for the origin and evolution of the central part of the Mexican Volcanic Belt …

Abstract If both the Mexican Volcanic Belt (MVB) and the Central American Volcanic Arc
(CAVA) have been related to the subduction of the Cocos plate beneath the North American …

Discrimination diagrams have been used to decipher tectonic setting of old terrains. New
discriminant-function based multi-dimensional diagrams for acid magmas were recently …

Fifty-five new multi-dimensional diagrams, mostly based on log-ratio transformations, were
used to decipher tectonic settings for 17 cases of Precambrian belts in Canada, the USA …

New multi-dimensional discrimination diagrams have been used to identify plate tectonic
setting of Precambrian terrains. For this work, nine sets of new discriminant-function based …

Monte Carlo method was used to simulate precise and accurate critical values (with 2 to 7
decimal places) of Fishers F test for degrees of freedom (ν1 and ν2) of up to 2000 and …

Multidimensional discrimination diagrams (2006–2011) for basic and ultrabasic igneous
rocks were applied to Precambrian rock suites from the Amazonian and São Francisco …

Using highly precise and accurate Monte Carlo simulations of 20,000,000 replications and
102 independent simulation experiments with extremely low simulation errors and total …

As an innovative approach, I use multi-dimensional diagrams presented by our group during
