Manual interpretation of sedimentary structures in core-based analyses is critical for understanding subsurface geology but remains time-intensive, expert-dependent, and susceptible to bias. This study investigates the use of convolutional neural net...
In complex geological environments, the morphology, orientation and distribution characteristics of cracks in the rock directly affect the stability assessment for rock masses and engineering safety decisions. However, the traditional manual interpre...
Sediments contain complex chemical mixtures. While effect-directed analysis (EDA) combined with nontarget screening (NTS) is promising, its large-scale application has been limited by time-consuming workflows. Here, we developed an event-driven taxon...

Estimation of sediment concentration (SC) is of vital importance in terms of siltation and economic life of dams, lakes and aqueducts, reservoir operations, design of water resource structures, monitoring and control of water pollution, and flood man...
The search for traces of life can be based on the detection of specific signatures produced by microorganisms on sedimentary rocks. Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISSs) develop under specific physicochemical conditions that are likely t...
Phosphorus is essential for life and critically influences marine productivity. Despite geochemical evidence of active phosphorus cycling in deep-sea cold seeps, the microbial processes involved remain poorly understood. Traditional sequence-based se...

The suspended sediment load (SSL) of a river is a key indicator of water resource management, river morphology, and ecosystem health. This study analyzes historical changes in SSL and evaluates machine learning (ML) models for SSL prediction in the G...
Suspended sediment load (SSL) refers to sediment particles, such as silt and clay, that are suspended in water. It plays a critical role in hydrology and water quality management, influencing factors such as water quality, river erosion, sedimentatio...
