WIDE & DEEP LEARNING FOR PREDICTING RELATIVE MINERAL COMPOSITIONS OF SEDIMENT CORES SOLELY BASED ON XRF SCANS, A CASE STUDY FROM PLEISTOCENE PALEOLAKE OLDUVAI, TANZANIA

Wide & deep learning for predicting relative mineral compositions of sediment cores solely based on XRF scans, a case study from Pleistocene Paleolake Olduvai, Tanzania

This study develops a method to use deep learning models to predict the mineral assemblages and their relative abundances in paleolake cores using high-resolution XRF core scan elemental data and X-ray diffraction (XRD) mineralogical results from the same core taken at coarser resolution.It uses the XRF core scan data along with published mineralog

Geophysical evidence of massive hyperconcentrated push waves with embedded toma hills caused by the Flims rockslide, Switzerland

Rockslides and rock avalanches are amongst the most destructive here natural hazards in the alpine environment.The Flims rockslide is the largest known rock-slope failure in the Alps, which provides excellent outcrops and has fascinated researchers since the early 20th century.The postulated impact of the Flims rockslide on Lake Bonaduz caused inte
