U-Pb zircon geochronology data from Eocene igneous rocks in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine mining district and vicinity, Idaho

 October 20, 2022

This data release includes laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon geochronology data to determine the ages of Challis igneous rocks in the Thunder Mountain volcanic field and dikes west of the volcanic field, especially in and near the Stibnite-Yellow Pine mining district, ID. These efforts were made to help understand the stratigraphy and lithologic characteristics of the Challis igneous rocks by determining their absolute ages.

Distribution of Hydrothermal Alteration associated with High and Low Sulfidation Deposits

Distribution of Hydrothermal Alteration associated with High and Low Sulfidation Deposits. High Sulfidation Epithermal Gold Deposits form in geothermal systems where hot acidic hydrothermal fluid directly from the intrusion, remains undiluted by ground water. Low Sulfidation Deposits on the other hand, from a geothermal system in which the magmatic fluid is cooled and diluted by groundwater and the pH is neutralized at depth. White, N. C., & Hedenquist, J. W. (1995). Epithermal gold deposits: styles, characteristics, and exploration. SEG Discovery, (23), 1-13.

The Pliocene as an analogue for near-future climate change?

Image
              In 1958, atmospheric scientist Charles David Keeling installed an instrument at the Mauna Loa Observatory, in Hawaii, designed to measure the average global concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the atmosphere. Little did he realise at the time that the results of this experiment, driven by a desire to characterise the composition of Earth’s atmosphere, would not only become one of the   longest observational records in science , but would have important implications for humanity and life on Earth. As Keeling’s instruments continued to measure CO 2  over the decades, it became increasingly obvious that atmospheric CO 2  was rising, rapidly and apparently unabated. The cause of this long-term trend was debated early on, but general  consensus was soon reached: anthropogenic activity, caused by deforestation and the burning of carbon-rich fossil fuels, was releasing this powerful greenhouse gas in quantities that fa...

A life story..

As a professional geological engineer with thirty years in the mining industry, I have geological,geochemical and mining experience,managerial skill and an important background in research techniques and training of technical personnel. I have been working as a Mining Geologist for many years.I am currently providing tecnical consultancy service. In the early years of my profession, I worked as a geologist for two years in the German-Prakla-Seismos company (TPAO's seismic support team in the salt lake). My second work experience started by working in ground drilling in the Kozlu Tunnels area in Yüksel Proje. Next geothermal resources with GE Energy company, I worked in Turkey and Italy in the oil and gas seismic crews. Then I worked on Onyx Marble and Chromite in Afghanistan. I did geological mapping and geochemistry, mine geology in the Lead,Zinc,Barite,Fluorite fields (Akdağmadeni-Yozgat) in the Akdağmadeni-Yukarıçulhalı region. I have been invoved in various projects wide. Proje...
