Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and
mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range …

The formation and preservation of cratons—the oldest parts of the continents, comprising
over 60 per cent of the continental landmass—remains an enduring problem. Key to craton …

Currently, there is an increasing industrial demand for rare earth elements (REE) as these
elements are now integral to the manufacture of many carbon-neutral technologies. The …

This paper reviews the spatial-temporal distribution, geological and geochemical features,
and geophysical context of diverse types of Cenozoic ore deposits formed during India …

A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic
activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new …

Natural or native molecular hydrogen (H2) can be a major component in natural gas, and yet
its role in the global energy sector's usage as a clean energy carrier is not normally …

Characteristics of ten of the world's metallogenic provinces hosting iron oxide Cu-Au (IOCG)
deposits have been critically assessed, including their geological and tectonothermal …

Interactions between tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and hydrothermal processes during
rifting and break-up of continental lithosphere lead to a variety of rifted margin types. As …

Although most economic geology research is concentrated at the deposit or mineral-system
scale for a single well-defined deposit group with a consistent metal association, there are …

The thermochemical structure of lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle exert primary
controls on surface topography and volcanic activity. Volcanic rock compositions and mantle …
