Coals are highly enriched in critical elements (rare earth elements, etc.), containing much information of paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic during deposition. The Jurassic period is a significant coal-forming the world. Yan'an Formation Ordos Basin north China among largest Middle coal fields purpose this study to investigate geochemical characteristics Aalenian coals their paleoclimate significance. Sixty-two samples were collected from two mines Dongsheng area northeast Basin. major...
The late Paleozoic ice age (LPIA) was the longest-lived glaciation of Phanerozoic, and demise LPIA is Earth’s only recorded transition from an icehouse to a greenhouse state. P1 (Asselian-Sakmarian) most extensive phase LPIA, characterized by rapid climate change several significant events, including widespread aridification in low latitudes Pangaea, episodic glacial expansion Gondwana, considerable fluctuations CO2 concentrations. This study investigates early Asselian warming...
Geoscience, along with other scientific disciplines, is being increasingly challenged on how it can best confront key global challenges, such as climate change, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, human conflict and migration, persistent poverty. But its traditional association exploitation of the planet’s natural resources for energy materials links contemporary concerns around unsustainable practices, arguably fueling a growing disenchantment that most evident in declining enrollment...
Abstract Tonstein layers are found worldwide in the Permo–Carboniferous coal‐bearing strata. This study investigates geochronology, mineralogy, and geochemistry of four tonstein samples from Benxi Formation, Ordos Basin, North China Craton (NCC). The typical features studied tonsteins include thin beds, lateral continuity, angular quartz grains, euhedral zircons with similar U‐Pb ages, indicating a significant pyroclastic origin. In addition, have low TiO 2 /Al O 3 ratios (<0.02) rare...
Halite is a type of evaporite that can be processed into refined salt for food processing, and used as an important raw material in the chemical industry. However, our understanding astronomical forcing pattern on halite formation at sedimentary basin scale still limited. Here, we present halite-rich lacustrine record from middle-late Eocene through early Oligocene Dawenkou Formation Huanggang Basin, Eastern China. A ∼ 6.5-Myr-long floating time was constructed based 405-kyr orbital...
University Geoscience UK (UGUK) represents geoscience Higher Education providers and is the advocacy group for at Universities.&#160; Since 2014, student numbers enrolling on a geoscience-related degrees in have fallen by 43%. The reasons this are complex intersectional need further research, but anecdotal evidence suggests that main drivers decline are: [1] similar of school-age students studying geology (triggered changes to national educational policy priorities); [2] perceptions most...
The Middle Jurassic Yan'an Formation in the Ordos Basin (North China) is an important coal-bearing succession. Twenty coal samples and four of silty mudstones were collected from Coal Seam 2 order to determine major, trace rare earth elements; moreover, geochemistry elements, particular yttrium, was investigated. major elements investigation reveals that Si, Al, Na, K, Ti are primarily found clay minerals. Calcium calcite iron largely controlled by sulfur. average REE (rare element) contents...
Rock-Eval pyrolysis analysis of unconventional mudstone reservoirs use the S1 peak (kg free liquid per tonne rock) to determine volume oil that can be potentially produced by hydraulic fracking. The data presented in this paper were obtained from a study potential marine late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay Formation southern Viking Graben area UK and Norwegian sectors North Sea. Typical silty mudstones with >2%TOC contains <1kg/t (0.1wt. %) when immature at depths <2.5km Tmax <420°C. saturation...
The Yan’an Formation of the Ordos Basin in North China is among largest and most extensively studied Jurassic coal reservoirs world. lacustrine was investigated near Dongsheng (Ordos Basin, China) its sequence-stratigraphic context, to understand factors that controlled peat accumulation cyclicity coal-bearing strata. Nine facies, grouped into two facies associations, jointly composed third-order sequences. These represent lowstand system tracts, extended (lacustrine) tracts highstand...
Geography, Earth and Environmental Science (GEES) research will play a vital role in addressing the grand challenges of 21st century, contributing to many UN sustainable development goals global energy transition.

URTeC 1579451 Lower to Middle Carboniferous shales represent the most prominent shale play in UK. In East Midlands region, Widmerpool Gulf contains proven oil-prone source rocks that sourced producing petroleum fields and seep bitumens such as at Windy Knoll Derbyshire. This study is based upon new analyses of samples obtained from British Geological Survey (BGS) for Duffield borehole was drilled Gulf. These results, conjunction with available legacy data, were used determine organic...

Abstract. The Carboniferous, an important coal-forming period in geological history, was characterized by extensive vegetation and high oxygen levels. Numerous wildfire evidence suggests that frequency of occurred at time, specifically peatlands. However, the control mechanisms for changes activity peatlands during this are still not clearly understood. In study, from Gzhelian Ordos Basin, such as inertinite/vitrinite (I/V) ratio, indicated existence different frequencies time. CaO/MgO •...
