Abstract Machine learning algorithms have been widely applied in mineral prospectivity
mapping (MPM). In this study, we implemented ensemble learning of extreme gradient …

Investigating the provenance evolution of sedimentary basins with complex tectonic histories
is challenging because of the continuously evolving tectonic framework and changing …

Relative sea-level fall and high sediment supply can be decisive in driving shelf-edge sands
to form deep-water fans. However, a closer look at a series of lowstand shelf-edge deltas on …

The concentration of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, Co, and Ni) from 421 sediment samples
from the shelf of the northern margin of the South China Sea (SNSCS) was analyzed. The …

Coastal areas are regions of active interaction between the sea and land and are highly
sensitive to changes in heavy metal contamination caused by natural and anthropogenic …

Sedimentary deposits from the northern South China Sea (SCS) can provide important
constraints on past changes in ocean currents and the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) …

Abstract The Huagang Formation is the most important hydrocarbon reservoir in the Xihu
Depression of the East China Sea Shelf Basin. Reconstructing the provenance and transport …

The concentrations of six heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, and As) in offshore surface
sediments of western Pearl River Estuary were analyzed to investigate their sources and …

As a crucial “sink” for terrigenous material entering the ocean, provenance of sediments
within the coastal zone and continental shelf sea regions holds significant scientific …

In the current study, different heavy minerals typical of gold placer deposits were identified
by means of micro-Raman spectroscopy, and their chemical composition analyzed and …
