If there is a value (value interval ) that works as a valve representing the background field, exceeding or lower than the valve value,it is called a geological anomaly. Geological anomalies can be divided into high geological anomaly and low geological anomaly .The former shows the area that is more complex in composition, Structure or genetic sequence than its surroundings; while the latter just gives an opposite indication, i. e. much simpler. According to their distribution and delimitation markers, geological anomalies can be classified into (1)global geological anomaly; (2)regional geological anomaly; (3) local geological anomaly; (4) minor geological anomaly and (5)micro-geological anomaly .The methods for delimiting geological anomalies include (1)crustal elevation-subsidence coefficieat (G value ) determination; (2) geological complex coefficient (C value ) determination; (3) entropy (H value ) determination; (4) geological similarity coefficient (S value ) determination and (5 ) geological correlation coefficient (R value ) determination. As the result of the movements of Eurasian, Pacific and Indian Plates, the Chinese geological anomalies, including 11 regional ones and 32 main local ones, most Paleozoic in age, are distributed in strip on the margin or the outer and inner folded zones in the east and west arcs of the block symmetric arc tectonic system (BSATS), which controls the distribution of various minerals in China. Thus, geological anomaly theory is of great significance in searching for large, super-large and very large ore deposits.展开更多

Geological anomaly, restrained by the geological factors closely associated with ore forming process, is an important clue to ore deposits. The geological anomaly serves as a geological sign to locate ore deposits. Therefore, it is very important to study how to define the characteristics of geological anomaly and further to locate the changes in these characteristics. In this paper, the authors propose the geological anomaly based on the remote sensing images and data, and expound systematically such image features as scale, size, boundary, morphology and genesis of geological anomalies. Then the authors introduce the categorization of the geological anomalies according to their geneses. The image characteristics of some types of geological anomalies, such as the underground geological anomaly, are also explained in detail. Based on the remote sensing interpretation of these geological anomalies, the authors conclude that the forecasting and exploration of ore deposits should be focused on the following three aspects: (1) the analysis of geological setting and geological anomaly; (2) the analysis of circular geological anomaly, and (3) the comprehensive forecasting of ore deposits and the research into multi source information.展开更多

However,...3D modeling of geological bodies based on 3D seismic data is used to define the shape and volume of the bodies, which then can be directly applied to reservoir prediction, reserve estimation, and exploration. However, multiattributes are not effectively used in 3D modeling. To solve this problem, we propose a novel method for building of 3D model of geological anomalies based on the segmentation of multiattribute fusion. First, we divide the seismic attributes into edge- and region-based seismic attributes. Then, the segmentation model incorporating the edge- and region-based models is constructed within the levelset- based framework. Finally, the marching cubes algorithm is adopted to extract the zero level set based on the segmentation results and build the 3D model of the geological anomaly. Combining the edge-and region-based attributes to build the segmentation model, we satisfy the independence requirement and avoid the problem of insufficient data of single seismic attribute in capturing the boundaries of geological anomalies. We apply the proposed method to seismic data from the Sichuan Basin in southwestern China and obtain 3D models of caves and channels. Compared with 3D models obtained based on single seismic attributes, the results are better agreement with reality.展开更多

The Cenozoic seafloor spreading in the South China Sea Basin is an important part of the tectonic evolution of the South China Sea that records information of the continental margin tectonic history and its impact on regional geologic evolution. Magnetic data contains abundant geological structure information from the surface to deep. This paper reports magnetic data of the South China Sea. Through the conventional processing of these magnetic data,we report general results on the regional magnetic anomalies,such as the upward continuation graph,the polar magnetic anomaly map and the magnetic anomaly partition map. The magnetic anomaly field in the South China Sea is divided into eight areas,of which the characteristics are explained,and the tectonic evolution of the South China Sea is preliminarily discussed.展开更多

In this study we use differential travel time residuals at some strong motion accelerographic stations in the Medellin-Aburra Valley, in the northern Central Cordillera of the Colombian Andes, to discuss some aspects of the geological configuration. We based our work on the hypothesis that the differences between seismic travel time residuals among pairs of stations are a function of the differences in the surface geology and the near-surface upper crustal configuration. Our results are consistent with the volcanic rocks of the Quebradagrande Complex being less mafic, more weathered or more tectonically affected than previously thought, with the presence of a relatively thin dunite body on top of the metamorphic basement, and with a large lateral heterogeneity in the mainly mafic San Diego Stock.展开更多
