Petrographic and Geochemical Characteristics of Deccan Trap Basalts from Belagavi, Karnataka, India
Abstract: The Deccan Trap volcanic province represents one of the largest continental flood basalt provinces in the world and provides significant insights into magma generation and evolution processes. The present study focuses on the petrography and geochemistry of basalts from the Belagavi region, which forms part of the southern extension of the Deccan volcanic province. Petrographic analysis of thin sections reveals that the basalts are mainly composed of plagioclase feldspar and …

Revolutionizing Petrology and Mineralogy: The Study of AI and Advanced Sensor Technologies
Abstract: Petrology and mineralogy are fundamental to understanding Earth's intricate processes, from crustal evolution to economic resource formation. However, traditional methods, while precise, are often laborious, time-consuming, and occasionally subject to interpretive bias. This abstract explores the transformative potential of integrating cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced sensor technologies to revolutionize data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation in these critical geosciences. Advanced sensor technologies, including high-resolution spectral imaging (hyperspectral, Raman), automated X-ray …

Comparative Evaluation of the Pozzolanic Activity of Artificial Pozzolans: Steel Slag, Fly Ash, and GGBFS
Abstract: Evaluating the pozzolanic activity of specific industrial waste is crucial given the growing demand for cementitious materials. This research aims to expand the possibilities of incorporating pozzolanic waste such as Steel Slag (SS) as additives to cement. SS is a byproduct of the steel production process. A byproduct of the steelmaking process, slags have long been used as aggregates in building materials like concrete and roads. A closed-loop structure and …
