▼ The climatic history of Mars has been indirectly studied through the remote detection of minerals produced by chemical alteration across its surface. While the martian surface has experienced cold, dry, and oxidizing conditions over prolonged geologic timescales, few studies have investigated the role of chemical alteration in this type of environment, largely due to the slow kinetics of alteration and the difficulties in preserving these metastable weathering products in natural settings. In this work, we identify, characterize, and interpret oxidative weathering processes and products in the Ferrar Dolerite of Beacon Valley, Antarctica, where these phases are uniquely preserved due to the hyper-arid and hypo-thermal environmental conditions. The oxidation process results in the predictable migration of cations in response to an oxidizing environment, resulting in diagnostic chemical and spectral signatures in the absence of significant mineralogical variations. The distribution of these alteration phases was then assessed throughout the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica using remote spectroscopic datasets. This study confirms that oxidative weathering products are confined to Beacon Valley as well as our ability to identify these alteration signatures amidst a diversity of complex lithological and spectral signatures. The ability to characterize these metastable alteration products using remote spectroscopic techniques and to relate these signatures to detailed laboratory investigations substantiates our capabilities of performing similar analyses across the martian surface. Visible/near-infrared reflectance and thermal infrared emission datasets exhibit spectral signatures that are uniquely consistent with the widespread presence of oxidative weathering products on Mars. These signatures were previously interpreted as representing hydrated mineral phases, and their widespread distribution across the martian surface would imply pervasive and geologically recent aqueous activity. However, further investigations of regional dust-free terrains do not reveal spectral evidence for hydrated signatures in the near-infrared. As a result, the dominance of oxidative weathering products throughout these basaltic terrains suggests that liquid water has been an inconsequential component of regional chemical alteration across the martian surface since these landscapes were formed approximately three billion years ago.

▼ Tompaso geothermal system is a typical volcanic arc geothermal system in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Although situated close to the Tondano caldera, subsurface lithologies and structures do not show any evidence for caldera-related features and the system is inferred to be related to the andesitic Soputan volcano. The subsurface geology of Tompaso consists of Tuff B unit, Rhyolite unit, Andesite B unit, Pitchstone unit, Pyroclastic Breccia unit,Andesite A unit, Pumice unit, and Tuff A unit, respectively, from the oldest penetrated unit. The silicic Pitchstone and Rhyolite units are presumed to be sourced from the same magma chamber. Petrological and mineralogical observations using binocular and petrographic microscopy, short-wave infrared (SWIR) analysis, and back-scattered electron (BSE) imaging combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) have been applied to cuttings and limited core material from three boreholes: LHD-26, LHD-27, and LHD-32. Age dating has not been undertaken and, thus, conclusions on correlations between subsurface geology inferred here with surface formation groupings from previous works cannot be drawn. Tompaso geothermal system is characterised primarily by variations in the fracturing within the reservoir. Secondary mineralogy and the structure of present-day temperature of the system suggest that the movement of hydrothermal fluids at Tompaso is controlled by faults: the Soputan, Tempang, and A-A’ faults, the last defined for the first time in this thesis. Soputan Fault controls the outflow of the system. On the other hand, the influence of Tempang and A-A’ faults is dominant only in the upper portion of the system. The A-A’ fault likely acts as a channel for cooler meteoric surface water, while the Tempang Fault is inferred to have experienced self-sealing and appears to be an impermeable structure in the system. The self-sealing process of the Tempang Fault and/or the introduction of meteoric water through the A-A’ fault may be related to the cooling of the northern and western part of the system. The challenges in identifying protoliths in active geothermal areas is addressed here through studies of the influence of andesite textures on the preferences of hydrothermal alteration processes. Wairakei andesites were chosen for comparison to Tompaso andesites, especially because of its different geological setting and geothermal reservoir structure. The results suggest that mineral composition and arrangement affect the preference of hydrothermal alteration on andesites. Advisors/Committee Members: Wilson, Colin.

In this project a quartz-andalusite-sericite alteration zone in close vicinity to the Udden massive sulphide deposit in the Skellefte District in northern Sweden was studied. The objective was to find any correlation between the geological, mineralogical and geochemical character of the alteration zone and the associated Au-Te-Bi mineralization. The Udden area is situated in the Paleoproterozoic supracrustal rocks of the Skellefte Group in the central part of the Skellefte district. Most of the rocks in the Udden area are interpreted to be volcaniclastic, overlaid by a thick package of basinal sediments. The composition of the volcaniclastic rocks ranges from rhyolitic to mafic. The area has been subjected to several deformation events and regional metamorphism of upper greenschist facies. This, together with local deformation, has created a complex structural environment.A laterally extensive alteration zone is situated about 600 m south of the Udden open pit. It is characterized by strong leaching of most major elements, leaving a residue of mainly SiO2 and Al2O3. The mineral assemblage of the alteration zone mainly consists of quartz, andalusite and sericite with locally occurring biotite, chlorite, topaz, fluorite and minor rutile. Just above the alteration zone occurs a layer of strongly foliated quartz and sericite. The highest concentrations of Au, Te and Bi seem to be spatially related to this layer, although the concentrations of these metals are generally elevated in the whole alteration zone, sometimes together with Hg and Sb. In close vicinity of the Udden area the Kedträsk and Åsen massive sulphide deposits can be found. They are both related to similar types of alteration as occur in the alteration zone in Udden. In other parts of the Skellefte district similar types of alteration are known to occur as well, often related to mineral deposits. For example in the gold-rich Boliden massive sulfide deposit, in Mångfallberget telluride mineralization not far from Boliden, and in Kristineberg massive sulphide deposit.To obtain the aims of this study the rocks have been logged in diamond drill cores and the minerals and their textures have been studied by thin section microscopy. The lithogeochemical analyze data was interpreted by immobile element plots to classify the rock types and mass-balance calculations and studies of the AAAI and ACNK alteration indexes to quantify the alteration intensity. These results have then been compared to similar types of deposits in the world that have been studied more extensively.The mineralogy, lithogeochemistry and overall shape of the alteration zone suggests that the alteration zone in Udden was formed as a steam-heated blanket in an epithermal environment.

▼ Our understanding of the origin and formation of the various components of meteorites, and ultimately understanding the formation of the early Solar System, comes from our knowledge of the asteroidal alteration processes and modifications that such processes induce on these components. The majority of our knowledge in this area comes from the meteorites that have been subjected to some kind of terrestrial modification which has partly or completely erased any prior history of its components. Meteorites unaffected by terrestrial modification are rare but invaluable. Tagish Lake is one such meteorite; due to its fall history it is considered to be the best candidate for studying the alteration history of the asteroidal parent body. Four samples (TL5b, TL11h, TL11i, and TL11v) from the pristine collection of the Tagish Lake meteorite were studied to characterize and understand its alteration history. Based on petrological and mineralogical observations I conclude that the Tagish Lake parent body was a heterogeneous mixture of anhydrous precursors of nebular origin, which were brecciated and aqueously altered to various degree. The degree to which the studied samples experienced aqueous alteration is in the order TL5b < TL11h < TL11i. Specimen TL11v, which consists of disaggregated material, is heterogeneous on the microscale and encompasses the petrologic characteristics of other three specimens as seen through EPMA observation. The whole-rock geochemistry confirms the inferred alteration sequence observed through mineralogy. There is a positive correlation with aqueously mobile trace elements, such as K, Ba, and Br, which appear to be controlled by an increase of phyllosilicates from least to most altered samples. Yet, the homogeneity of other elements suggests that elemental mass transfer occurred on a localized scale and aqueous alteration was isochemical for these elements. Oxygen isotopic results from my study corroborate the conclusion that the range of variations observed in the Tagish Lake meteorite covers the oxygen isotopic composition seen in all other carbonaceous chondrites. Such variation found in one meteorite suggests that the Tagish Lake parent asteroid sampled the material from different oxygen isotope reservoirs, perhaps 16O-rich and 17O-rich gaseous reservoirs.

▼ The Stewart Peak culmination is a duplex fault zone of the Absaroka thrust sheet, which is part of the Sevier fold-and-thrust belt in western Wyoming. Duplex structures can serve as subsurface oil, gas and carbon dioxide (CO 2) traps. The culmination lies east and up-dip from naturally occurring CO 2 traps in Idaho and west of the Moxa arch in Wyoming, another naturally occurring CO 2 trap and potential target for CO 2 sequestration. The culmination has been uplifted and breached by erosion, exposing traps and reservoir rocks analogous to proximal subsurface structures, thus allowing for outcrop-scale investigation of the elements that comprise a complex trap and an analysis of the relative timing of faulting, fracturing, fluid migration and structurally-controlled diagenesis. The purpose of this study was to characterize structural elements of the Stewart Peak culmination that controlled fluid flow. Field-based analyses of fractures, fault damage zones and breccia pipes were conducted in order to assess how these structures affected fluid flow. Rocks were sampled in order to elucidate the diagenetic characteristics of alteration associated with episodes of fluid migration and document the qualities of reservoir rocks. Faulting has led to extensive fracturing and brecciation of rocks in the culmination. The geometry of faults and fracture sets initially controlled fluid migration pathways. Brecciated fault zones of large-displacement thrusts served as focused fluid conduits. Fracturing also facilitated fluid flow, locally enhancing porosity and permeability. The protracted history of deformation in the culmination helped maintain fluid flow pathways through fractures and fault zones. Fault zones and fractures display complex diagenetic alteration as a result of multiple eposodes of deformation and fluid migration. Sub-vertical fracture swarms and breccia bodies dissect some fault zones and represent discrete vertical fluid pathways through which CO 2-charged hydrothermal fluids were focused. Hydrothermal brines may have enhanced structurally-controlled fluid migration pathways through interrelated processes of effervescence-induced brecciation and dolomitization. Faulting, fracturing, brecciation and diagenetic alteration generally enhanced the quality of reservoir rocks and increased the hydraulic connectivity within the culmination. The enhanced porosity and permeability of the Madison Limestone and Bighorn Dolomite indicate that these reservoirs have good potential for CO 2 sequestration.

▼ Characterization of the geological and geo-chemical footprint of the Koolhoven gold deposit, Suriname. IAMGold operates Rosebel N.V. Gold Mines in Suriname, South America. The producing deposits are characterized to be Archaen greenstone hosted quartz-carbonate vein deposits. Regional exploration projects are located in rainforest environment. Geologists are therefore confronted with difficult access, few outcrops and deep weathering. Efficient exploration is crucial and for this reason a profound understanding of the local geology, gold depositional mechanism and signature is required. There is a hypothesis that a temperature gradient resulting from the flow of hydrothermal fluids through the shear and tension veins will have caused alteration halos to be formed around the gold deposit. Specific element enrichment and depletion are also expected near the gold deposition as a result of changing pressure/temperature regime and fluid characteristics. Recognizing and understanding alteration halos will increase the target area in an exploration campaign. To test this hypothesis 28 boreholes with a maximum downhole depth of 230 meters were sampled across the producing Koolhoven pit on the Rosebel concession. 85 Samples were analysed for trace element and major element content in a laboratory. 904 Samples were analysed using an X-50 Mobile XRF device for element content. 1573 Spectral measurements were obtained using a Hi-Res Terraspec and 40 thin sections were analysed using a conventional polarization microscope and electron microprobe. The petrographic analysis reveals the presence of quartz, carbonate, chlorite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, hematite, rutile, clay mineral and feldspar including plagioclase. Bleached veins selvages are associated with high concentrations of carbonate and sericite, pyrite porphyroblasts and are devoid of chlorite. The sulfide mineral content does not exceed 5%. The conglomerate clasts are identified to be of volcanic origin mainly, hereby supporting the major element results. The veins contain quartz, carbonate, chlorite and the accessory minerals white-mica and tourmaline. Due to the low degree of deformation the veins are concluded to be of late timing compared to the main deformation. The use of major element analysis has resulted in the effective differentiation of lithologies present in the Koolhoven pit. Siltstone/mudstone, two types of greywacke (A and B), sandstone, conglomerate and volcanic rock ranging from mafic to felsic have been recognized. Greywacke B and conglomerate are spatially related and their major-element content resembles that of the volcanic rock. The use of log-ratios to analyse the trace element data suggests the presence of correlations between specific element ratios and gold concentrations. The best results were obtained by analysing one borehole a time. Different correlations are suggested in the different boreholes. It therefore remains uncertain to use the presented results for the entire deposit. The visible and near infrared spectral analysis… Advisors/Committee Members: Buxton, M.W.N..

▼ This study uses satellite- and ground-based remote sensing techniques to detect hydrocarbon-induced rock alterations at the Cement oil field, Oklahoma. Hydrocarbon seepage is the escape of oil and gas from petroleum reservoirs and their upward-migration to the surface. These hydrocarbons at the surface can generate rock alterations, including mineralogical changes, bleaching of red beds, and clay mineral alterations. Surficial expressions of such alterations are distinct from adjacent rocks, and could be detected by remote sensing techniques. The Cement field is a giant oil and gas field located in the southeastern Anadarko basin in Oklahoma. The surface structure is a northwest-trending, elongate and asymmetrical anticline. This field has been reported to have heavily altered surficial rocks. Loss of iron and impregnation of sandstone by carbonate cements, and replacement of gypsum by calcite, are the major alteration phenomena in this field. Remote sensing data hold great potential to characterize rocks with great precision and fine detail. This study identified outcrops with surficial rock alterations from Landsat 8 and ASTER multispectral data, as well as Hyperion and Specim hyperspectral imagery. Published geologic maps and geochemical data were combined to show the geologic extent and various degrees of rock alterations. Petrographic analysis showed bleaching and cementation of sandstones, as well as crystallization gradient of gypsum samples. Laboratory spectroscopy was used to assist with image classification. Principal component analysis, minimum noise fraction, spectral angle mapper, and band ratios are used in image processing. Remote sensing data detected bleaching and carbonate cementation. Combining lithological, remote sensing and geochemical data, this study built a model for petroleum seepage and related rock alterations, and provides a workflow for employing remote sensing techniques in resource exploration.

▼ The iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) class of mineral deposits is characterized by, among other properties, widespread alkali alteration and an enrichment of multiple trace elements, including REE and U. The ability of feldspar replacement reactions to alter physical and chemical properties of host rocks invokes the idea that the early widespread alkali alteration stage within IOCG genesis may prove critical in the subsequent enrichment of trace elements within such magmatic-hydrothermal systems. Based on detailed petrographic investigations and geochemistry, the link between these two fundamental IOCG properties is tested in one of the largest IOCG metallogenic belts in the world, the Olympic Cu-Au Province. Firstly, the temporal evolution of a deeper-style IOCG system (Moonta-Wallaroo) is tracked from protolith through to early and late mineralization stages using mineral reactions associated with regional alkali alteration (namely, albitization), their relative textures and chondrite-normalised REE+Y (hereafter REY) fractionation patterns. Different stages can be distinguished based on variation in REY-anomalies (e.g., Eu, Y), slope (LREE/HREE) and ΣREY concentration. The results also highlight how feldspar alteration is expressed across various lithologies within a single IOCG terrane, which is largely dependent on the style of fluid/rock interaction. In contrast to Moonta-Wallaroo, mineralization at Olympic Dam is hosted largely within a single lithology; the Roxby Downs Granite. Thus, changes in feldspar textures and geochemistry from magmatic to hydrothermal stages within a single lithology can be tracked based on proximity to mineralization within the Olympic Dam Breccia Complex. From observations and analyses of cryptoperthitic alkali feldspars, patch perthite, plagioclase and albite, it is evident that feldspars preserve the major element exchange (loss of Na -> gain of K and Fe -> Cu-U-Au-Ag mineralization) occurring within the Olympic Dam deposit. Moreover, results also highlight the ability of widespread feldspar replacement reactions (with a coupled dissolution-reprecipitation mechanism) to produce significant microporosity within the host rocks that facilitate subsequent fluid/rock interaction and mineralization. The contribution and distribution of REE elements within the Roxby Downs Granite is also investigated and compared to other IOCG terranes within the Olympic Cu-Au province, as well as pre-Hiltaba Suite lithologies, such as the Donington Suite granite. Chondrite-normalized REY fractionation patterns obtained from magmatic and hydrothermal feldspars, show that feldspars in the Roxby Downs Granite are significantly enriched in lattice-bound REY relative to Donington Suite granite. Moreover, although it appears that hydrothermal albite and K-feldspar inherit REY concentrations from the respective parent phases, variation in ΣREE (~1-100 ppm) at Olympic Dam indicate an increase in mobility of REE from feldspars with proximity to the Olympic Dam Breccia Complex. Nanoscale characterization is also… Advisors/Committee Members: Cook, Nigel (advisor), School of Physical Sciences (school).

▼ The Tumpangpitu porphyry and high- to intermediate-sulfidation epithermal deposit is the largest deposit in the Tujuh Bukit district, southeast Java, Indonesia. The porphyry resource contains 1.9 billion tonnes at 0.45 % Cu and 0.45 g/t Au, for 28.1 Moz Au and 19 billion llbs of Cu. There is an additional 1.9 Moz Au and 60.3 Moz Ag in oxidized high-sulfidation epithermal deposits. Tumpangpitu is located along a NW-striking structural corridor covering an area of 12 x 5 km that hosts several Cu-Au-Mo mineralized tonalitic porphyries, each with varying degrees of metal enrichment. At least eight discrete intrusions, span the alteration-mineralization sequence at Tumpangpitu. What is unusual, however, is the presence of both a pre-mineralization, relatively dry volcanic breccia pipe (Tanjung Jahe) and a late-mineralization diatreme complex associated with a large magmatic-hydrothermal system (Tumpangpitu) in the same district. Type sections have been constructed for Tumpangpitu based on crosscutting relationships of intrusions and breccias, supported by radiometric dating. This work has provided the first comprehensive geological model for the deposit. Magmatism, alteration and mineralization at Tumpangpitu occurred in response to north-directed subduction of the Indo-Australian plate beneath the Asian continental plate margin. The Tujuh Bukit district is floored by Early to Late Miocene sedimentary and andesitic volcanic rocks. Volcanichydrothermal activity at Tujuh Bukit began with the formation of the weakly-altered Tanjung Jahe diatreme complex (U-Pb(_zircon) ages of 8.78 ± 0.22 to 8.52 ± 0.21 Ma). Mineralization at Tumpangpitu was preceded by the intrusion of a large, equigranular, dioritic pluton (5.81 ± 0.20 to 5.18 ± 0.27 Ma). Hydrothermal activity associated with mineralization has been constrained by U-Pb age determinations from syn- to latemineralization porphyry intrusions that were emplaced in the Early Pliocene from 5.40 ± 0.46 to 3.94 ± 0.69 Ma. Tumpangpitu is a large, complicated example of telescoped high-sulfidation mineralization and associated advanced argillic alteration (part of a district-scale lithocap) that has overprinted the top of a Cu-Au-Mo porphyry deposit. Mineralization extends from the present-day surface to depths of more than 1,000 m bsl. High-sulfidation mineralization is hosted by five main NW- and N-trending residual quartz ridges known as Zone A, Zone B, Zone B East, Zone C and Zone E, containing Au-Ag oxide ore close to surface with transitional and sulfide Au-Ag-Cu ore at depth. Porphyry mineralization extends from an upper level of 50 m asl to levels of over 1,000 m bsl and the 0.2 % Cu shell extends 1.2 - 1.5 km laterally around the tonalite intrusive complex. Early magnetite (M), A and B veins and veinlets are associated with hypogene bornite, chalcopyrite, chalcocite and covellite. Native gold occurs as refractory inclusions in these early copper sulfide minerals and B veins contain most of the molybdenite at Tumpangpitu. Rare C veins contain highgrade chalcopyrite…

▼ Deep drilling is required to reach the geothermal fluids extracted for generation of electricity; therefore, the different rock properties and the hydrothermal alteration of the lithologies being drilled become an important factor to a conventional geothermal industry. If the correct equipment required to complete drilling is not selected, the rate of penetration (ROP) can be suboptimal, potentially increasing the cost of the project. Mechanical characterisation of hydrothermally altered rocks from geothermal reservoirs will lead to an improved understanding of rock mechanics in a geothermal environment. Core samples obtained from the Ngatamariki, Rotokawa and Kawerau Geothermal Fields covered a wide range of lithologies (ignimbrite, rhyolite lava, sandstone, mudstone, andesite lava/breccia and tonalite) encountered during drilling. A suite of non-destructive and destructive laboratory tests along with petrographical analysis were conducted on the samples. Some key findings are that samples that originated from the shallow and low temperature section of the Kawerau geothermal field had higher porosity (15 – 56%), lower density (1222 – 2114 kg/m3) and slower ultrasonic wave velocities (1925 – 3512 m/s (vp) and 818 – 1980 m/s (vs)), than the samples from a deeper and higher temperature section of the field (1.5 – 20%, 2072 – 2837 kg/m3, 2639 – 4593 m/s (vp) and 1476 – 2752 m/s (vs), respectively). The shallow lithologies had uniaxial compressive strengths (UCS) of 2 – 75 MPa, and the deep lithologies had strengths of 23 – 211 MPa. Typically samples of the same lithologies that originate from multiple wells across a field have variable rock properties because of the different alteration zones from which each sample originates. To obtain a way to relate this rock property data back to the geomechanical model, we developed a method - Alteration Strength Index (ASI) - to address the effect of hydrothermal alteration on mechanical rock properties. The index constitutes three components; the mineralogy parameter, derived from petrological analysis, alteration index (degree of alteration) and an assessment of mineral hardness; the fracture parameter, assigned based on an assessment of structural damage; and the porosity parameter, which accounts for the effect of voids. This method can be used to estimate a range of rock strengths comparable to UCS, and the ASI calibrated against measured UCS for the samples produced a strong correlation (R2 of 0.86). From this correlation an equation was derived to convert ASI to UCS. Because the ASI–UCS relationship is based on an empirical fit, the UCS value that is obtained from conversion of the ASI includes an error of 7 MPa for the 50th percentile and 25 MPa for the 90th percentile with a mean error of 11 MPa. A sensitivity analysis showed that the mineralogy parameter is the dominant characteristic in this equation, and the ASI equation using only mineralogy can be used to provide an estimated UCS range, although the uncertainty becomes greater. This provides the ability to…

▼ Naturally fractured reservoirs are characterized by having low-permeability matrix blocks surrounded with fractures of high hydraulic conductivity. Waterflooding process in such reservoirs is successful if the matrix blocks holding the dominant fraction of the reservoir porosity are able to imbibe the injected water (water-wet) and expel the oil into the fracture system and finally to the production well. This mechanism referred to as spontaneous imbibition of water into the matrix blocks is an efficient method to increase oil recovery from fractured reservoirs. However, most naturally fractured reservoir rocks are mixed- to oil-wet and do not imbibe the injected water, which translates into low-efficiency waterflood recovery. To enhance the spontaneous imbibition process, low concentration of surfactants is dissolved into the injected water to induce wettability alteration of the reservoir rock by changing the wettability of the rock toward a more water-wet state. This is the main subject of this research study. The first part of this study was devoted to evaluating and comparing the effectiveness of using a biosurfactant (surfactin) produced from agriculture waste streams against a benchmark chemical surfactant in mediating the wettability of oil-wet rocks. The ability of surfactants to enhance the spontaneous imbibition process in cleaned and crude oil-aged reservoir core plugs was tested. One of the other factors that needs to be considered is the estimation of the loss of surfactants due to adsorption onto the reservoir rock, because for the process to be effective, the injected surfactant solution should be able to penetrate deep into the reservoir. So, in this work, static and dynamic adsorption isotherms for both biosurfactant and benchmark chemical surfactants on crushed reservoir rocks and reservoir core plugs were generated and compared. The second part of the study focused on the mechanistic study of wettability alteration by surfactants. There are two main mechanisms proposed for the wettability alteration process, but none have been verified. This study is focused on investigating the wettability alteration mechanisms though experimental observations. The results of the work will provide better guidelines in designing and improving water flood performance in naturally fractured reservoirs. It was verified that wettability alteration is caused by either surfactant adsorption or the ion-pair formation between the surfactant monomer and the material adsorbed on the reservoir rock from exposure to crude oil. It was further demonstrated that the ion-pair process can be improved by increasing the charge density of the head-group in the surfactant molecule.

▼ The Qilian Fold Belt is a suture belt between the China-Korea craton and Qaidam craton. There are manly Paleozoic volcanic rocks of marine origin occurred in the Qilian suture belt. According to the previous studies, these volcanic rocks are mainly spilite and keratophyre. In the present study, we have used methods of petrography and mineral chemistry to study alteration and low-grade metamorphism of Ordovician volcanic rocks in Mayahsuehshan, Minleh and Changma areas. These three areas are located in eastern, middle and western of Northern Qilian Fold Belt, respectively. On the basis of the parageneses of secondary minerals, it is indicated that the metamorphic grade of the Lower Ordovician volcanic rocks is equivalent to greenschist facies, whereas that of the upper part of the Middle Ordovician volcanic rocks is equivalent to prehnite-pumpellyite facies. The lower part of the Middle Ordovician volcanic rocks is a transition zone between prehnite- pumpellyite and greenschist facies. The metamorphic grades are thus lower for the younger volcanic rocks. The metamorphic grades of Minleh and Changma areas are prehnite-pumpellyite and prehnite-actinolite facies, respectively. The mineral parageneses of the volcanic rocks are generally consistent with that of spilite or keratophyre. It was considered earlier that the spilite and keratophyre were formed by direct crystallization from a mixture of magma and seawater. However, metamorphic grades of the volcanic rocks are shown to be equivalent to that of the intercalated metaclastic rocks in the present study. Therefor, it is implied that the spilitic volcanic and metaclastic rocks in the Mayahsuehshan area have formed as a reasult of regional metamorphism. The spilitic and keratophyric volcanic rocks from Minleh and Changma areas, respectively, are also inferred to have formed as a result of regional metamorphism. It is therefore more adequate to name them metabasalts or metandesites. Mineral assembleges and mineral chemistry are different in different parts of the rocks, because of varied effective compositions during metamorphism. According to the chlorite compositions, the chlorite/smectite mixed layering is not prevailing in the volcanic rocks of the three areas. However, interstratification of chlorite and illite appears in groundmass of some volcanic rocks in Minleh area. There are few chromium-spinel in the volcanic rocks of Mayahsuehshan area. The plots of Mg/(Mg+Fe) versus Cr/(Cr+Al) of the chromium-spinel imply that the volcanic rocks in Mayahsuehshan area may have occurred in island arc environments.

▼ ããIgneous activity of Taiwan in Miocene mainly were concentrated in the area north of Miaoli. Nanman is one of the basalt in southern of Taiwan that had been studied by OM, XRD, SEM/EDS and TEM. The rock type is alkali basalt with phenocryst of augite and olivine. The primary minerals include olivine + augite + plagioclase + Anorthoclase + apatite +titanomagnetite + illmenite, and secondary minerals are chlorite + smectite + calcite Â± gypsum.Alteration of Nanman basalt was take placed in mixture and crack of olivine, other minerals are almost fresh. The main replacement are chloritic minerals shown five occurrence types : (1) replaced mixture, (2) vein center of olivine crack, (3) vien of olivine, (4) fibrous and (5) mica-like clay between vein and residual olivine. Each types has clear grain boundary. Itâs mean they are not gradual. (4) and (5) are smectite with anomaly composititon. It cause by lack of Al resource, and smectite occurred far from the crack that element do not easily move. Thus, smectite replaced olivine often showed Al-poor and excess Mg. Si/(Si+Al) and Fe/(Fe+Mg) in smectite is positive correlation. This may be considered the moving ability of elements. Composition of (1), (2) and (3) are chlorite/smectite. However there is no observed mixed-layer minerals in XRD. According to TEM , they are chlorite + smectite. Chlorite within abundant of dehydrated cracks could be a evidence of smectite. Because of mixed chlorite and smectite, the correlation between Si/(Si+Al) and Fe/(Fe+Mg) is negative. Different occurrences lead to different mineral, suggest water/rock ratio is an important control factor. High rock/water ratio trend to form chlorite, and low rock/water ratio prefer to form smectite. According to all the results, the steps of altered olivine are first forming chlorite at mixture and olivine cracks. Then, the residual olivine becomes smectite with poor Al and excess Mg, when the rock was cooling down.

▼ The subsurface characterization of three-dimensional structural traps is becoming increasingly important with the advent of new technologies for the sequestration of anthropogenic carbon dioxide, which often takes place within preexisting, sealed reservoirs to permanently store greenhouse gasses that are detrimental to the global climate. Within the Big Snowy Arch, central Montana, reservoir units that are targets for carbon sequestration have experienced Laramide and younger deformation and widespread Eocene igneous activity, which introduced a heating mechanism for hydrothermal fluid flow and created anisotropy in Mississippian strata. One particular region of interest is the western flank of the Big Snowy Mountains, which contains a northeast-southwest striking, high-angle fault zone which has acted as a conduit for hydrothermal brine solutions into the overlying Phanerozoic rocks. Such fault zones often branch and bifurcate as they propagate up-section through the overburden, until a loss of thermally-driven hydrodynamic pressure terminates the upward movement of carbon dioxide-rich brines, leaving a distinct assemblage of collapse breccia rich in hydrothermal minerals, such as saddle dolomite and sulfide precipitates. To determine the degree of structurally-induced anisotropy within the reservoir units, field techniques (detailed structural measurements and lithologic descriptions) coupled with analytical methods (X-ray diffraction spectrometry, stable carbon and oxygen isotope analyses, secondary electron imagery, and petrography) were utilized. These techniques presented concrete evidence of hydrothermal mineralization and episodic fluid flow within the brecciated region of the fault zone. These areas are major avenues of enhanced porosity and permeability in the subsurface, which has important applications at some sites in Montana where carbon sequestration is under consideration (e.g., Kevin Dome).

▼ Various traumatic events such as automobile accidents, structure fires, or terrorist attacks result in traumatic and thermal injury. Fire is a destructive force that can alter or destroy evidence, and thermal alterations have negative effects on forensic and anthropological recovery and analysis. Blunt force trauma is particularly difficult to analyze because of the multiple ways in which this trauma appears on a body and the variety of objects that can impact and fracture a bone or the variety of ways a body can impact a blunt surface. As fire is a common way to cover up a crime and blunt force trauma is used as a means to kill or injure an individual, it is necessary to understand the differences between these two types of fractures that can present together on bone. The present study was performed to determine the amount of survivability of traumatic fracture patterns in remains that have been exposed to a burning event. The sample used for this investigation was composed of twenty limbs (forty long bones) from five full-grown, domestic, female sheep (Ovis aries) obtained from a farm in Connecticut. Thirty specimens were traumatized with the head of an Estwing ball peen hammer and ten were left as controls. After specimens were subjected to blunt force trauma, each was radiographed using Computed Tomography. They were then placed in a small structure, 8' x 8', that was constructed to simulate the conditions of a house fire. Each post-burn bone was analyzed based on a number of characteristics. A trauma score of "1" no trauma, "2" ambiguous, and "3" traumatic fractures were given based on these observations. CT scans were examined after bone samples had been analyzed. Again, each specimen's CT scan was given a trauma score ("1" no trauma, "2" ambiguous, and "3" traumatic fractures). Results from the bone analysis on the 30 traumatized and burned specimens revealed that 15 did not have trauma, 2 were ambiguous (i.e., they may have trauma but traumatic characteristics were not distinct), and 13 presented with distinguishable traumatic injury. Comminuted was the most prominent type of fracture, and the next most common fracture was oblique. The majority of traumatic injury was found on the middle portion of the bone. CT examination showed that 12 specimens had suffered traumatic injury. The two analyses were compared and showed an agreement of 83.3% between the trauma scores. Results show that differentiation of traumatic and thermally induced fractures is possible using various fracture characteristics as well as taphonomic indicators to determine the sequence of events.

▼ Improved oil recovery via wettability alteration by tuning the ionic composition of the injection water has been thoroughly researched in recent years. It has been well documented that seawater can increase the water wetness of chalk at high temperature. Forced displacement and spontaneous imbibition experiments have attributed the wettability alteration to interactions between active ions in the brine, Ca2+, Mg2+, and SO42-, the rock surface, and the oil phase. It has been suggested that the adsorption of SO42- onto the rock surface causes the bond between adsorbed carboxylic material in the crude oil and the rock surface to deteriorate which causes the release of the crude oil. Reduction in ionic strength of the injection water has also been proposed to trigger the effect of wettability alteration in carbonates. Although the numerous experiments devoted to understanding the mechanisms governing the low salinity effect in the past two decades, there has been no consensus about the dominant mechanisms driving wettability alteration. The purpose of this research is to improve the understanding of how reduced ionic strength and potentially determining ions (PDIs) contribute to oil recovery, as well as provide a direct comparison of their oil recovery performance for a synthetic oil versus crude oil during waterflooding. For this, a series of waterflood experiments were conducted in the laboratory at 90 C in Indiana limestone core plugs. Chemically tuned brines derived from seawater were used in secondary and tertiary recovery modes to displace synthetic oil. A waterflood with formation brine was also conducted as an experimental baseline to assess the advantages of low-salinity waterflooding over typical secondary recovery methods. Effluent analysis was conducted to evaluate the surface interactions occurring between the brine and rock surface. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy was performed to compare the chemical make-up of the synthetic and crude oil. Oil recovery curves from this study indicate that there was no benefit after increasing the concentration of PDIs in injection water compared to seawater (SW). However, the use of seawater and all chemically tuned brines derived from seawater resulted in an average 6.47% increase in oil recovery post water breakthrough, relative to the formation brine waterflood. The success of wettability alteration leading to improved oil recovery in carbonates has been noted as a strong function of the oil composition. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Zuleima T. Karpyn, Thesis Advisor.

▼ Northern Norrbotten County is one of the three major ore producing districts in Sweden. Based on the predominance of epigenetic Cu-Au and Fe-oxide mineralization this region is regarded as a typical IOCG province. The massive to layered Viscaria Cu-deposit is proposed to be a VMS deposit of Besshi-type and is unique in deposit type of the region. The volcaniclastic rocks of the Viscaria Formation hosting the Viscaria deposit belong to the rift related Kiruna Greenstone Group. The Viscaria deposit consists of three stratiform-stratabound mineralized zones: A-, B- and D-zone. Sulphide mineralization of the D-zone differs in structural features, host rock, mineralization style and Fe-oxide dominance over Cu-sulphides compared to the main Cu-ore in the A-zone. These differences between A- and D-zone mineralization styles raise the subject that the D-zone could be of a different origin. The Kiruna area is mainly covered by glacial-till, which contributes to limited bedrock exposure. This becomes a challenge when exploring for new deposits and highlights the importance of good geological knowledge obtained from existing deposits to carry through successful exploration programs. The objective of this study is to characterize the Fe-Cu-occurrence and the associated alteration halo of the Viscaria D-zone. Alteration halos can reach several kilometres away from the main ore zone and provides mineralogical and chemical signatures that extend the target area significantly in exploration for new deposits. Detailed core logging, optical microscopic studies, lithogeochemistry and electron microprobe analyses was utilized to contribute to a better genetic understanding of the D-zone and the associated hanging wall and footwall alteration features. The study shows that the main ore minerals of the D-zone consist of magnetite and chalcopyrite, and minor pyrite and hematite. The major alteration minerals associated with mineralization are calcite, actinolite/tremolite, epidote, chlorite and also biotite and scapolite in the hanging wall. The most prominent potential ore vector is calcite veins and biotite, as the abundance increase towards the D-zone. D-zone are further characterised by low REE concentrations, similarly to the calcic-dolomite host. The study also shows that the alteration halo of the D-zone is different in the hanging wall compared to the footwall, which is confirmed by the lithogeochemistry and mineral chemistry. The footwall is characterized by spilitization and chlorite alteration. The lithogeochemistry of the D-zone and the hanging wall reveals element mobility of Mg, Ba, Fe, Na, K, Cu and Zn. Mineral chemistry of epidote, amphibole and chlorite shows chemical changes in Fe/Al- and Mg/Fe-ratios. According to the result of this thesis and earlier studies, the D-zone mineralization is suggested to be part of the VMS system forming the stratigraphically above laying A-zone of the Viscaria Cu-deposit.

▼ The Pampa Escondida porphyry copper deposit (Pampa) of northern Chile records the dynamic relationship between magmatism and hydrothermal activity that occurred between 37.6±0.5 Ma and 28.4±2.9 Ma Ma in the central portion of the Escondida district, the largest currently operating copper mine in the world. Five distinct magmatic-hydrothermal cycles can be distinguished during the genesis of the 7,378 million metric ton (at 0.47 % copper) ore body. The focus of this study is to describe the magmatic-hydrothermal evolution of Pampa, underscore key evolutionary moments that conflict with simplified genetic models for porphyry copper deposits (PCDs), and propone the development of descriptive models that incorporate multiple absolute and relative timing data sets at individual PCDs. The goals of this study are: 1) to map (through 1:250 scale logging of diamond drill core) and describe all Eocene intrusive phases related to the development of the Pampa Escondida deposit; 2) to record stable mineral assemblages present in observed veins and then classify veins based on their stable assemblages; 3) to constrain the multi-stage formation of the mineralogically complex and early-formed transitional potassic-advanced argillic-sericite alteration associated with green sericite (GREEN SER) veinlets; 4) to propose genetic mechanisms for hydrothermal corundum that occurs in intense hypogene potassic alteration; 5) to improve understanding of the precise nature of gold mineralization and define the diversity of hydrothermal alteration with which it is associated ; 6) to interpret spatial concentration of and cross cutting relationships among vein types to infer their association with the major intrusive phases; 7) to obtain lowtemperature thermochronologic ages to complement U-Pb in zircon ages of previous studies; and 8) to synthesize these data into a genetic framework for the evolution of Pampa. Results from field data indicate that at least sixteen distinct classes of hydrothermal veins can be macroscopically distinguished. Petrographic, mineral chemistry, and fluid inclusion 16 microthermometric data show that multiple classes of hydrothermal veins formed from dynamic, multi-stage processes that spanned at least several magmatic-hydrothermal cycles. GREEN SER veinlets are a prime example of a vein class that formed through such a multi-stage process. The alteration halos of GREEN SER veinlets display several distinct stable silicate assemblages that record equilibrium with both the liquid and vapor phases of high-salinity aqueous fluids of magmatic origin. Synthesizing these data show that hydrothermal alteration related to the five magmatichydrothermal cycles at Pampa is expressed as four potassic-hydrolytic couplets and as a single, terminal volatile-rich pulse of alteration, which produced a series of internally zoned phreatic breccias. The bulk mass of Cu-Fe sulfides was deposited in the potassic and hydrolytic phases of the second and third magmatic-hydrothermal cycles; most of the gold is associated with bornite in four… Advisors/Committee Members: Barton, Mark D (advisor), Seedorff, Eric (advisor), Carrapa, Barbara (committeemember), Quade, Jay (committeemember).

▼ [Truncated abstract] Mineralogical and geochemical characteristics were identified for regolith overlying two Australian Au deposits that discriminate mineralized and associated hydrothermally-altered rock from weathered rock that was not hydrothermally-altered. Mineralization was lithologically controlled within a previously unrecognized diorite dyke at the lower Proterozoic mesozonal Groundrush deposit, Tanami region, Northern Territory. Although hydrothermal alteration effects within the dyke were subtle and obliterated by weathering, Ti/Zr ratios clearly discriminated the diorite dyke from visually indistinguishable but generally unmineralized dolerite. In contrast, the Carboniferous Vera Nancy low-sulphidation epithermal Au deposit, located in the Drummond Basin, northeast Queensland, comprises structurally-controlled quartz veins within a relatively chemically homogenous suite of andesitic lavas and subvolcanic intrusions. A zoned hydrothermal alteration system in the hangingwall of the main vein grades from a proximal silica-pyrite alteration zone through an argillic zone into regionally extensive propylitic 'background'. Deep chemical weathering has destroyed the minerals diagnostic of the different alteration zones in bedrock to leave a kaolinitic regolith overlying all alteration zones. However, the silica-pyrite alteration zone is identified in regolith by retention of the anomalous concentrations of Au, As, Sb and Mo present in bedrock, and mineralogical characteristics, determined from X-ray diffraction investigations, discriminated weathered argillic from propylitic alteration zones. ... Metasomatic reactions, including weathering reactions, are typically difficult to specify, as some reactants and products may be removed by fluids, and thus evidence for their involvement is absent from the observed assemblages. In addition, the range of possible reactions even for relatively simple systems is such that identifying the real reaction may be intractable without additional information. Linear algebra provides an approach to this problem. If minerals and aqueous phases are represented as columns in a matrix with elements as rows, any vectors in the null space of this matrix (if it is greater than 0-dimensional) provide coefficients to balance reactions between the phases. The 'Gale' vectors for a set of phase are the row vectors of any basis for this null space. The relationships between phases are clarified through examination of these vectors in d-dimensional Gale vector space, where d is the dimension of the null space. The hyperplane normal to any vector in Gale vector space separates the space into reactant and product half-spaces. The geometric relationships between the Gale phase vectors describe all the possible reactions. Because changes to parameters (e.g. volume, mass, density) can be determined for each possible reaction, Gale analysis can be used to identify reactions consistent with these constraints. Gale analysis of weathering at the Vera deposit indicated that all the possible weathering…
