Global demand for lithium, the primary component of lithium-ion batteries, greatly exceeds known supplies, and this imbalance is expected to increase as world transitions away from fossil fuel energy sources. High concentrations lithium in brines have been observed Smackover Formation southern Arkansas (>400 milligrams per liter). We used published newly collected brine concentration data train a random forest machine-learning model using geologic, geochemical, temperature explanatory...
