Craton boundary detection from full-waveform tomography model reveals links to critical metal deposits

by

Craton margins play a crucial role in mineral exploration as they host faults, fractures, and shear zones that facilitate hydrothermal fluid movement, transporting and depositing dissolved metals into valuable mineral deposits. We use the high-resolution full-waveform seismic inversion model REVEAL to extract horizontal shear wave velocity (VSH), vertical shear wave velocity (VSV), and isotropic P-wave … Read more…

PyGPlates 1.0 released

by

We’re pleased to announce the release of pyGPlates 1.0. PyGPlates enables access to GPlates functionality via the Python programming language. PyGPlates can now be installed using conda or pip. Please see the installation instructions in the pyGPlates documentation. Note: The old method of manually installing pre-compiled binaries is no longer supported (that’s now handled by conda and pip). But … Read more…
