An Evolutionary System of Mineralogy: A Mineral Informatics Approach

Explore a comprehensive seminar lecture on the revolutionary approach to understanding Earth's 4.5-billion-year mineral history through informatics and data analysis. Discover how mineral attributes, including trace elements, stable isotopes, fluid inclusions, and structural defects, provide crucial information about the evolution of Earth's geosphere and biosphere. Learn about the development of an 'evolutionary system of mineralogy' that transforms traditional mineralogy into a predictive science by leveraging advanced analytical and visualization methods. Gain insights into how this innovative approach helps decode the complex information preserved in minerals, offering new perspectives on the history of terrestrial planets and moons.
