Summary: We conducted U-Pb geochronology and Hf isotope analyses on detrital zircons from the Late Mesozoic strata in the Zhenyuan area to determine the source and variation characteristics of sandstone-type uranium deposits in the southwest Ordos Basin. The results suggest that the provenance of the sandbody mainly originated from the Alxa Block to the northwest and the Yinshan Block to the north, with minor contributions from the Caledonian magmatic rocks and Jingning Period rocks to the west and south. The variations in zircon ages in different formations were likely influenced by climate change during the Middle-Late Jurassic.

Summary: Coal measure gas has become a research hotspot, but the complexity of source-reservoir relationships and the ambiguity of the gas/water interface in coal measure reservoirs present challenges for traditional gas identification methods. Machine learning, especially ensemble learning, has shown promising development prospects in the field of oil and gas exploration and development. This study proposed an ensemble learning-based gas identification method for coal measure reservoirs, which significantly improved the learning ability and consistency of individual learners on small samples. The method was tested and applied to real data, demonstrating its superiority over other comparison methods.

Summary: The Longmenshan Thrust Belt in Eastern Tibet was formed during a Mesozoic orogeny and Cenozoic reworking. Detailed structural analysis reveals that the thrust belt can be divided into a Southeastern Zone and a Northwestern Zone, both of which experienced major tectonic events. Geological data suggests that episodic imbrication of basement slices occurred during the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous and Late Cretaceous-earliest Paleocene, leading to the exhumation of amphibolite facies rocks.

Summary: Northern Xinjiang in China is an important part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, characterized by multiple episodes and types of mineralization. Cu and Au deposits are mostly found in Altay, Junggar, and Tianshan, with minor occurrences in Beishan. The most common types of Cu-Au deposits are volcanogenic and porphyry deposits. The formation of Cu-Au deposits can be divided into five mineralization episodes, with the Devonian and Carboniferous being the main periods. These deposits developed in various tectonic settings, including island arc, continental arc, collision, and postcollisional extensional tectonics.

Summary: Numerous lode gold and silver deposits have been discovered in orogenic belts in China. This study focuses on the formation and fluid evolutions of the super-large Yingdongpo gold and giant Poshan silver deposits in the Tongbai-Dabie orogen. The results suggest that both deposits were formed concurrently with Early Cretaceous granitic magmatism and the ore-forming fluids were primarily of magmatic origin with meteoric water inputting. The gold mineralization is related to a change in the physicochemical properties of the fluids, while the silver mineralization is favored by progressive deposition of sulfides in a slowly cooling hydrothermal system.

Summary: The Brahmaputra foreland basin, known for its dynamic tectonism and sediment load, exhibits a variety of seismically generated soft sediment deformation structures (SSDS) such as clastic dikes, sand sills, and micro-faults. These structures, influenced by multiple strong seismic events, are characterized by their dimensions, intrusion angles, cross-cutting relations, wall shattering, and age. The study suggests that a significant earthquake with high intensity and magnitude might have caused liquefaction features in the area. The findings highlight the importance of studying SSDS in tectonically active regions with limited surface ruptures and dense alluvial cover.

Summary: The extensively developed Early Cretaceous intermediate-felsic rocks in the northern North China Craton provide valuable insights into the nature of Paleo-Pacific subduction and associated geodynamic processes. Geochemical and geochronological analyses of trachyandesites and rhyolites from the eastern Hebei, northern NCC suggest that the trachyandesites likely originated from enriched mafic lower crust and the rhyolites are derived from the trachyandesitic magmas through fractional crystallization. The migration direction change of these rocks is believed to be primarily attributed to slab rollback of the subducting Paleo-Pacific Plate.

Summary: The organic-rich shales of the Shuijingtuo Formation in China are an important target for shale gas exploration. The upper section of the formation, primarily consisting of limestone, silty shale, and black shale, has been rarely studied but recently showed promising results for shale gas exploration. Geochemical investigations of the upper section shale deposits revealed that the organic matter enrichment mechanism underwent dynamic changes due to relative sea-level changes and episodic upwelling activities.

Summary: This study analyzed the heterogeneity of gas compositions and the effects of magmatism on gas accumulation in shale gas exploration in the Yangtze plate. The results showed that magmatism caused the development of micro-fractures in shale reservoirs and accelerated the thermal evolution rate of organic matter. The impact of magmatism on shale gas accumulation varied in different regions, either favoring or compromising efficient gas accumulation in shale reservoirs.
