This study intends to showcase the application of Extreme Gradient boosting (XGboost), a state-of-the-art ensemble-learning technique, for district-scale mineral potential mapping …
Arc volcanism across Iran is dominated by a Paleogene pulse, despite protracted and presumably continuous subduction along the northern margin of the Neotethyan ocean for …
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 …
