About this Research Topic
Exploration and prediction of natural resources have long underpinned the growth of human communities, managing not only the locations of civilizations but also the shape of their economies and political organizations. Many civilizations have also demonstrated that the struggle for the exploration of resources has been a major driver of conflicts across the ages. In the present day many scientists are developing and searching for programs that can identify the system of the natural resource, to develop a program system for prediction and exploration of these resources.
The use of geoscience data to identify and explore natural resources (e.g. mineralization, fuel, geothermal potential, groundwater, etc) using recent and advanced techniques, is of global interest. Finding new natural resources can be a significant help for the sustainable development of some countries. New methods, techniques and approaches can be applied for exploring natural resources including geophysics, geology, mineralogy, artificial intelligence, and mineral systems. These techniques can also help assess different natural hazards and how they can be predicted, their risks can be minimized, and their optimal use.
The manuscripts submitted to this Research Topic should address, but are not limited to, the following points:
1. Application of different geological methods for natural resources exploration;
2. Application of different artificial intelligence tools to forecast and predict natural resource abundance;
3. Mineral systems and exploration program systems;
4. Application of geophysics for predicting geological structures and implications to exploration systems;
5. Predicting and forecasting natural hazards;
6. Application of machine learning for predicting and evaluating natural resources (mineralization, fuel, groundwater, geothermal potential, etc.);
8. Review of existing natural resources forecast algorithms/competitions;
9. Advancing natural resource forecasting by machine learning of various geosciences data.
