Porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) in Iran are dominantly distributed in Arasbaran (NW Iran),
the middle segment of the Urumieh–Dokhtar Magmatic Arc (UDMA), and Kerman (central SE …

Iran is a remarkable geoscientific laboratory where the full range of processes that form and
modify the continental crust can be studied. Iran's crustal nucleus formed as a magmatic arc …

Oxygen fugacity (fO 2) is a key factor that controls the formation of porphyry Cu deposits.
Porphyry Cu deposits are typically oxidized, but when and how porphyry magmas gain their …

There has been in recent years a trend towards adopting deep neural networks for
addressing earth science problems. Of the various deep neural networks applied to different …

Large and easily accessible porphyry Cu deposits have already been identified, exploited,
and gradually exhausted. Novel strategies, therefore, are required to identify new, deeply …

In this contribution, we investigate the space and time distribution of the Cenozoic
magmatism and the associated porphyry Cu-Mo±Au and other hydrothermal (mostly …

Many intrusions with adakite-like affinities in collisional zones have obviously higher K2O
contents and K2O/Na2O ratios compared with counterparts in subduction zones. A suite of …

Continental-arc igneous rock compositions change in response to the transition from
subduction to collision and these changes can reveal how the crust, lithosphere and magma …

Abstract Mineral Prospectivity Mapping (MPM) is a multifaceted process relying heavily on
experts' judgments. Notwithstanding the importance of human interpretations and cognitive …

A wide variety of porphyry copper deposits have been reported along the Cenozoic Urumieh–
Dokhtar magmatic arc in Iran. The formation of these deposits is attributed to closure of Neo …
