The reffnement of the 1cm geoid holds signiffcant importance in engineering applications, where the accuracy of the geoid is frequently constrained by its resolution. However, there has been limited exploration into the speciffc relationship between geoid resolution and accuracy. This article aims to address this gap by thoroughly examining said relationship. This study employs the CapRCR modification to calculate the geoid of Gongzhuling City. The ffndings indicate that the accuracy can be enhanced by 2% to 9% through encryption of the geoid resolution from 2.5′×2.5′ to 1.5′×1.5′. Furthermore, this improvement can be augmented by 15% to 21% through encryption of the gravity anomaly to the same resolution. The accuracy of the geoid exhibits a linear relationship with the resolution of gravity anomalies. The theoretical accuracy of the geoid, excluding integration errors, is determined to be 1.21 cm. In engineering applications, opting for a resolution of 30''×30'' can result in the geoid containing only an integration error of 2 mm. However, to attain an accuracy of 1 cm, it becomes imperative to further mitigate data errors. Consequently, the ffnal reffned quasi-geoid accuracy is established at 0.56 mm. 

  The naming of rock hand specimens is usually conducted by geological workers based on observed mineral composition, texture characteristics, etc., combined with their own knowledge reserves. The accuracy of identiffcation results is limited by the experience, research interests, and identiffcation level of the identiffer, as well as the complexity of the rock composition. To improve the efffciency of rock hand specimen identification, this paper proposes a method for rock image recognition and classification based on deep learning and the Inception-v3 model. It encompasses the preprocessing of collected photographs of typical intrusive rock hand specimens, along with augmenting the sample size through data augmentation methods, culminating in a comprehensive dataset comprising 12501 samples. Experimental results show that the model has good learning ability when there is sufffcient data. Through iterative training of the Inception-v3 model on the rock dataset, the accuracy of rock image recognition reaches 92.83%, with a loss of only 0.2156. Currently, several common types of intrusive rocks can be identified: gabbro, granite, diorite, peridotite, granodiorite, diabase, and granite porphyry. Software is developed for open use by geological workers to improve work efffciency. 

 The superparamagnetic effect arises from the superparamagnetism exhibited by a multitude of nano-sized magnetic mineral particles under an external electric ffeld. This phenomenon manifests in transient electromagnetic data primarily as a deceleration in the attenuation rate of late-stage signals, a characteristic difffcult to discern directly from airborne transient electromagnetic signals, consequently leading to signiffcant misinterpretations of subterranean electrical structures. This study embarks on 3D forward modeling of airborne electromagnetic responses in the frequency domain, accounting for the superparamagnetic effect, utilizing an unstructured finite element method. Superparamagnetic responses in the time domain were obtained through frequency-time conversion. This investigation explores the influence of various parameters—such as magnetic susceptibility, time constants, and ffight altitude—on the superparamagnetic effect by examining the response characteristics of typical targets. Findings indicate that in its late stages, the superparamagnetic effect can induce a relative anomaly of up to 300%. There is a positive correlation between magnetic susceptibility and the strength of the superparamagnetic effect. The inffuence of the time constant's upper and lower limits on the superparamagnetic effect is minimal; however, the range between these limits significantly affects the effect, showing a negative correlation with its intensity. Higher flight altitudes weaken the superparamagnetic signal. The impact is most pronounced when superparamagnetic minerals are shallowly buried, effectively shielding the underlying geology with the characteristics of a good conductivity anomaly, but this effect diminishes with greater depth. The insights from this study provide a theoretical framework for a deeper understanding of the superparamagnetic effect in transient electromagnetic signals and for more accurate interpretations of subterranean geological and electrical structures. 

 The Daerlong granitic complex in Linkou area is located at the convergence position of the Jiamusi and Songliao blocks. A systematic study of field geology, petrography, zircon U-Pb dating and wholerock major and trace elements has been conducted for the Daerlong granitic complex, aiming to determine its formation age, petrogenesis and tectonic setting, and further constrain the nature and evolution of the Mudanjiang Ocean. Field and petrographic observations show that the Daerlong granitic complex mainly consists of three rock types from old to young, i.e., biotite granodiorite, syenogranite and monzogranite. Geochemical data suggest that all the types of granitoids are high in silicon, rich in potassium, moderate in aluminum (A/CNK=0.94–1.10), poor in iron and magnesium, rich in LILEs and depleted in HFSEs, belonging to the weakly peraluminous high-K calc-alkaline series. Combined with mineral assemblages and geochemical discrimination diagrams, it can be determined that the studied granitoids are of igneous crustderived I-type origin, which underwent strong fractional crystallization and crystal accumulation during magmatic evolution. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating results show that the different types of granitoids were emplaced in a wide age range from 301 to 240 Ma, indicating a long-lived Late Carboniferous to Middle Triassic granitic magmatism occurred in the western Jiamusi Block. The Daerlong granitoids have similar geochemical characteristics of subduction-related igneous rocks. Considering the spatial and temporal distribution of Late Paleozoic to Early Mesozoic igneous rocks within eastern Heilongjiang Province, it is concluded that the Daerlong granitic complex was formed in an active continental margin setting rather than a continental rift environment. The results suggest that the Mudanjiang Ocean might not be a limited ocean evolved from the rifting of the uniffed Jiamusi-Songnen microcontinent. 

Flood disasters can have a serious impact on people's production and lives, and can cause huge losses in lives and property security. Based on multi-source remote sensing data, this study established decision tree classification rules through multi-source and multi-temporal feature fusion, classified ground objects before the disaster and extracted flood information in the disaster area based on optical images during the disaster, so as to achieve rapid acquisition of the disaster situation of each disaster bearing object. In the case of Qianliang Lake, which suffered from flooding in 2020, the results show that decision tree classification algorithms based on multi-temporal features can effectively integrate multi-temporal and multi spectral information to overcome the shortcomings of single-temporal image classification and achieve ground-truth object classification.

Since the Paleozoic, the tectonic evolution of northeastern Eurasia has been primarily influenced by the Paleo-Asian Ocean and the Paleo-Pacific tectonic domains. However, the spatial and temporal frameworks, as well as the timing of the tectonic transition between these two oceanic domains, remain unclear. For addressing these issues, we present petrological, geochronological, and geochemical data for andesite and sandstone samples from the Seluohe Group along the Jilin-Yanji Suture between the Jiamusi Khanka Block and the North China Craton. The geochemical results indicate that the andesite sample is high-Mg andesite. Its magma source was generated by the metasomatized mantle wedge influenced by f luids derived from the subducted slab in a continental island arc setting. The high-Mg andesite gives the crystallization ages of Early Triassic (249±3 Ma). The sandstone is immature greywacke with a maximum depositional age of Early Triassic (247±1 Ma), and its sediments primarily originate from concurrent magmatic rocks within a juvenile continental arc. Based on our new findings, we propose that the Seluohe Group represents an Early Triassic volcanic-sedimentary association with continental island arc characteristics associated with the southwestward subduction of the Heilongjiang Ocean. We identified a sedimentary basin intimately associated with one or more continental arcs along the northeastern edge of the North China Craton. We suggest that the southwestward subduction of the Jilin-Heilongjiang Ocean in the Early Mesozoic accounts for this continental arc setting. There is a distinct temporal gap between the closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (ca. 260 Ma) and the onset of Paleo-Pacific plate subduction (234–220 Ma), which is essentially coeval with the southwestward subduction of the Jilin-Heilongjiang Ocean between 255 Ma and 239 Ma.

A genus within the family Douvillinidae of the order Strophomenida from the Erdaogou Member of the Xibiehe Formation in the Early Devonian of central Jilin has been re-examined, with consideration

To determine the geological age, petrogenesis, and tectonic setting of Mesozoic volcanic rocks in the Ningyuancun Formation in Xunke area, Lesser Hinggan Range, the zircon U-Pb geochronology, petrographic observations, and geochemical analyses of major and trace elements were conducted in this study. Zircon U-Pb dating showed that the volcanic rocks of the Ningyuancun Formation were formed in the Early Cretaceous (112.97±0.90 Ma). Major element analyses revealed that the content of SiO? weighted from 74.14% to 76.54%, indicating the volcanic rocks to be high-silica and felsic. The content of AlO varies from 12.48% to 13.65%. A total alkali content of the volcanic rocks range between 8.46% and 9.56%, with Na?O/K?O ratios from 0.69 to 0.89. This indicated that the volcanic rocks belonged to a highly differentiated calc-alkaline series. Additionally, A/CNK values range from 0.950 to 1.015, and A/NK values vary between 0.999 and 1.127, suggesting a peraluminous characteristic. Trace element analysis showed a right-sloping “V-shaped” REE pattern, with the enrichment in light REEs and a prominent negative anomaly of Eu. The volcanic rocks are enriched in Rb, Th, U, La, and Ce, while Ba, Sr, and Ti are depleted. Rb/Sr ratio ranges from 10.01 to 12.46, Ti/Y ratio is from 51.14 to 95.72, and Ti/Zr ratio is from 5.78 to 6.41. It is suggested that the magma was derived from the partial melting of crustal rocks. This evidenced that the Early Cretaceous high-silica rhyolites were formed in an intra continental extension in eastern Northeast China during the northwestward subduction of the Pacific Plate. The crustal extension, asthenospheric mantle upwelling and underplating of mantle-derived magmas resulted in the residual crystalline mush in Early Cretaceous mafic magma chambers to erupt.

The quest for enrichment model of continental shale oil in the Zhanhua Sag of the Jiyang Depression in the Bohai Bay Basin to provide reference for exploration and development requires a comprehensive approach. Therefore, this study employs rock pyrolysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and other experiments to analyze the conditions for shale oil enrichment and establish its patterns. The results show that favorable hydrocarbon generation potential and appropriate thermal maturation degree control “in situ enrichment”; while the storage capacity and the mobility of shale oil determine “migration enrichment.” In the process, the TOC governs the oil-generating capacity of shale with medium to large pores and microfractures serving as the main enrichment spaces and migration pathways for shale oil. Based on the deposition model, the study area can be divided into five lithofacies stages (I-algal limestone, II-laminated marl, III-laminated recrystallized limestone, IV-laminated mudstones, and IV-blocky calcareous mudstones). Integrating the geochemical parameters into the sedimentary patterns makes it clear that the study area underwent two phases of hydrocarbon expulsion during the thermal evolution of source rocks (Stage II: 3 060–3 120 m and Stage IV: 3 020–3 040 m). However, judging by the observed TOC (2% to 5.6%), thermal maturity (Ro>0.8%), S1 (>2 mg/g) and OSI (>100 mg/g) as well as moderate basin size, climate, and quantity of terrestrial input, the blocky calcareous mudstones (Stage IV) have better oil-prone characteristics and potential to generate a substantial quantity of hydrocarbons at this stage. More so, with a brittleness index exceeding 60%, it exhibits favorable fracturability accounting for the main controlling factors and enrichment patterns of shale oil in the area. Hence, this study further enriches and develops the theoretical understanding of shale oil enrichment in the area, provides valuable insights for future exploration of continental shale oil in eastern China and other similar basin around the world.

The Tangjiashan lead-zinc deposit, located on the southwestern margin of the Sichuan Basin, is rich in bitumen, and the lead-zinc ore and bitumen coexist closely, indicating a close genetic relationship between lead-zinc mineralization and hydrocarbon reservoir formation. However, whether bitumen shares the same source as the current gas reservoirs within the basin or other destroyed gas reservoirs along the basin margins remains unknown. Here, we conducted an organic geochemical analysis of bitumen in this deposit and identified the sources of hydrocarbons by comparing biomarker compounds with those of potential source rocks. The authors found that the bitumen in the Tangjiashan lead-zinc deposit has good comparability with the hydrocarbon source rocks of the Cambrian Qiongzhusi Formation, suggesting that the primary sources of oil in this ancient hydrocarbon reservoir are muddy source rocks of the Qiongzhusi Formation. This research is important for enhancing the understanding of the genetic connection between lead-zinc mineralization and hydrocarbon formation, providing crucial insights for strategies to explore both metal ores and hydrocarbons and advancing the geological understanding of petroleum systems in the Sichuan Basin.?

During Early Cretaceous, NNE-trending extensional basins filling with various volcanic sedimentary formations developed in the northeastern Da Hinggan Ling (Mts.), northeastern China. This study investigates the formation age and geological background of Jiufengshan Formation, providing insights into its tectonic setting and formation mechanisms. Detrital zircons from four sandstone samples of Jiufengshan Formation in Nenjiang area indicate a maximum depositional age of 116±1 Ma, corresponding to late Early Cretaceous. Petrographic analysis and zircon age peak comparisons suggest these sandstones originated from proximal deposits with nearby provenances of earlier and contemporaneous volcanic rocks. Further research on the sandstone framework and trace elements in detrital zircons indicates that the formation process of Jiufengshan Formation was likely related to the low-angle subduction of the Paleo Pacific plate.

There have always been academic debates regarding the timing and geodynamics of the superimposition and transformation between the Paleo-Pacific Ocean and the Paleo-Asian Ocean. To resolve the relevant issues over this debate, the authors selected the Jilin–Heilongjiang high-pressure metamorphic belt (Ji–Hei HP Belt) between the Jiamusi–Khanka Block and the Songliao Block in NE China as the study area. This area preserves important records of the superimposition and transformation between these two tectonic domains. This study aims to address this issue through geochemical and zircon U–Pb dating analyses of the Yilan blueschist of Heilongjiang Complex exposed in the Ji–Hei HP Belt. In the geochemical analysis, it has been discovered that the protoliths of the blueschist in the Yilan area consist of subalkaline basalt, which displays geochemical characteristics of Ocean Island Basalt that indicated an oceanic island setting. The LA–ICP–MS zircon U–Pb analysis yields ages of 248±4 Ma and 259±2 Ma from the magma zircons of the blueschists, indicating that the basalt protolith was formed in Late Permian to Early Triassic (259–248 Ma). Based on the results of this study and the regional data, it is proposed that the Jilin–Heilongjiang Ocean opened during Late Permian to Early Triassic (259–248 Ma). This period marks a crucial stage from the closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean to the initiation of Paleo-Pacific oceanic subduction.

This study presents LA–ICP–MS U–Pb dating and whole-rock geochemical analyses of the Late Triassic Gangshan harzburgite in the Qingyuan area, with the aim of elucidating its petrogenesis and further constraining the early Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the eastern segment of the northern margin of the North China Block (NCB). Zircons from the harzburgites exhibit typical oscillatory growth zoning or striped absorp tion in cathodoluminescence images. U–Pb analyses of zircons yield ages ranging from 2 525 Ma to 225 Ma, with two youngest ages (225±7 Ma) indicating that the harzburgites were formed during Late Triassic. Geochemical analyses of the Gangshan harzburgites show that the rocks have low concentrations of SiO2 (42.38%–42.85%) and Al2 O3 (3.31%–3.33%), along with high concentrations of MgO (41.32%–41.76%), Cr (4 856×10-6–5 191×10-6) and Ni (1 942×10-6–2 041×10-6). They also display low REE abundances (∑REE=4.38×10-6–4.69×10-6) and flat REE patterns with low (La/Yb)N ratios (1.24–1.56) and slightly po- sitive Eu anomalies (δEu=1.13–1.16). These features suggest that the Gangshan harzburgites are cumulates of basaltic magma derived from the depleted lithospheric mantle. Combined with previous studies, these Late Triassic mafic–ultramafic rocks, together with coeval granitoids in adjacent regions, constitute a typical bimodal association, suggesting that they formed in a post-orogenic extensional environment after the final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean.

This study selects geochemical data of basalts from different seamounts in the Mid-Pacific Mountains province and conducts analyses of major and trace elements as well as Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes to explore the tectonic evolution, petrogenesis, and mantle-source magama characteristics of the Mid-Pacific Mountains. The basalts from the Mid-Pacific Mountains are predominantly alkali basalts, rich in alkalies, and changing in potassium. They exhibit geochemical features of ocean island basalts (OIB), with distinct fractionation between light and heavy rare-earth elements and a pronounced Ce negative anomaly (δCe = 0.16–1.10, average 0.84), along with enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILEs). The Mid-Pacific Mountains are intraplate ocean island basalts formed by mantle plume (hotspot) activity, originating mainly from an enriched mantle magma source region, and most of them have undergone low degree of partial melting and a certain degree of crystalline differentiation, with negligible contamination from oceanic crust materials. The Mid-Pacific Mountains exhibit ratios of 87Sr/86Sr(i) (0.702 733–0.704 313, average 0.703 452) and 143Nd/144Nd(i) (0.512 698–0.512 996, average 0.512846) which are close to the HIMU mantle end member, and ratios of 206Pb/204Pb (18.953–19.803), 207Pb/204Pb (15.54–15.62) and 208Pb/204Pb (38.813–39.514) which are close to the EMII mantle end-member. Combined with the isotopic geochemical characteristics in the West Pacific Seamounts province, the basalts from the Mid-Pacific Mountains were considered to represent a certain proportion of mixing mantle end-members between the HIMU and EMII, possibly formed by the mixing of the HIMU superplume in the South Pacific hotspot region with the EMII secondary mantle plume in the transition zone during their ascent.

The Longfengshan structural belt lies in the southern Changling Depression. The Yingcheng Formation is the primary gas-bearing unit. The Yingcheng Formation has low permeability and contains deep, tight gas that is challenging to extract. Industrial gas flow has been achieved from the B218 and B220 well blocks in the sandstone layer of the first member of Yingcheng Formation (Ying I), indicating the potential of this sandstone group for gas production. Although oil and gas are widely distributed in the Ying I sandstone layer, production capacity varies significantly across the formation. into six sublayers. Drilling, logging, and laboratory testing data were integrated to subdivide the Ying I sandstone layer into six sublayers. Core and well logging analyses indicate a braided river delta depositional environment. Data and seismic inversion identify the Ying I-5 sublayer as the primary exploration target. The effective reservoir in the eastern fan body, where porosity ranges from 5% to 13% and maximum effective thickness reaches 34 m. This study basis for optimizing well placement and estimating gas reserve parameters in the Ying I sandstone layer of the Longfengshan area. The findings can guide the development of other tight gas reservoirs.

 The pore structure of rocks significantly influences the porosity and permeability of reservoirs and the migration ability of oil and gas, and being the key task on the development of volcanic gas reservoirs. Nine volcanic rock samples from the Yingcheng Formation and Huoshiling Formation in the Longfengshan area of the Changling Fault Depression in the Songliao Basin were selected for this study. The pore structures of the volcanic rocks in the study area were investigated using high-pressure mercury injection, X-ray diffraction combined with fractal theory. The relationships between the fractal dimension and physical properties characteristics, pore structure parameters, and mineral content were analyzed to provide guidance for the development of volcanic rock gas reservoirs. The results show that the reservoir can be divided into 3 types (I, II, and III) based on the shape of the capillary pressure curve, and the physical properties deteriorate successively. Different types of reservoirs exhibit different fractal characteristics. For types I, II and III, the average total fractal dimensions were 2.3418, 2.6850, and 2.9203, respectively. The larger the fractal dimension, the stronger the heterogeneity of reservoir. A small number of macro-pores primarily contributed to permeability. The fractal dimension was negatively correlated with porosity and permeability. The fractal dimension of the rock was strongly correlated with quartz and feldspar contents, and the mineral composition and content are closely related to the pore evolution of the reservoir, which are the internal factors affecting the fractal dimension of volcanic rock.

Groundwater overexploitation is the main cause of city surface deformation. In Siping City, groundwater level had decreased since 1980 due to large-scale exploitation of groundwater. Subsequently, the level began to rise under governance while shown a declining trend in the whole Siping area. This paper obtained surface deformation of Siping City from 2017 to 2024 using 36 Sentinel-1B satellite images and 88 Sentinel-1A satellite images based on SBAS-InSAR and analysed the effect of groundwater on deformation. The results indicated that uplift occurs in the centre of the urban area with a maximum average velocity of about 5 mm/y and there were two main subsidence zones during these two time periods with average subsidence velocities of about 3 mm/y and 1.7 mm/y. Groundwater levels showed a high correlation with surface deformation, with rising the levels leading to surface uplift and falling the levels leading to surface subsidence.

The lower member of Dalazi Formation is an important oil reservoir in the Songjiang Basin. Based on the research on its field-measured geological profiles, lithological combination characteristics and grain size distribution characteristics, combined with the analysis of the spatial distribution characteristics, sedimentary structural characteristics and hydrodynamic conditions of the sediments in this member, nine sedimentary microfacies of the fan delta plain subfacies, fan delta front subfacies and littoral-shallow lacustrine subfacies have been identified.The study reveals that lower member of Dalazi Formation in the research area follows a fan delta–shallow lacustrine depositional model in the steep slope zone of a rift lake basin. The sediments primarily originate from the Pre-Mesozoic strata in the steep southeastern and eastern margins. The basin center migrated from the early Xiaoshahe area to the Yangmucun–Shenglicun area, and the sedimentary system gradually transitioned from fan delta to littoral-shallow lacustrine facies.

 Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) are seasonally observed dark streaks on the Martian surface that exhibit distinct spatial and temporal distribution characteristics. Exploring their formation mechanisms can deepen our understanding of surface activity on Mars and provide scientific basis for future Mars exploration. This study aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics and formation mechanisms of RSL by reviewing relevant literature and synthesizing various viewpoints and experimental results. RSL typically appear during warm seasons, disappear during cold seasons, and repeat over multiple Martian years. The formation mechanisms can be broadly categorized into three types: dry mode, wet mode, and mixed mode. However, a definitive explanation for the formation of RSL is still lacking, and both the dry and wet models have their respective limitations. It is likely that the formation of RSL is the result of the combined action of multiple mechanisms. The next step should be to search for terrestrial analogs of RSL and conduct research at high spatial and temporal resolutions to understand the forming processes of RSL.
