Area of Science:

  • Geology
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Geochemistry

Background:

  • Expert analysis of geological samples is time-consuming and provides limited spatial resolution.
  • Current methods struggle to extrapolate physicochemical data from discrete samples to entire geological formations.
  • Visual inspection of large geological samples, like drill cores, offers only coarse information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply deep learning for high-resolution lithological classification of geological samples.
  • To semiautonomously extrapolate bulk density and carbon concentration across a drill core.
  • To improve the accuracy of geological property quantification and understand the role of ocean crust talus breccia.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized deep learning algorithms for objective, high spatial resolution classification of a ~100 m drill core.
  • Generated AI-driven lithological classifications to map material properties.
  • Semiautonomously extrapolated bulk density and carbon concentration at a 0.25 cm² resolution.

Main Results:

  • Achieved objective, high spatial resolution lithological classifications of ocean crust talus breccia.
  • Generated synthetic bulk density data showing improvement over traditional GRA measurements.
  • Provided an accurate estimate of carbon content, highlighting the significance of oceanic talus breccia.

Conclusions:

  • Deep learning offers a powerful tool for detailed geological sample analysis.
  • AI-driven extrapolation of properties enhances understanding of geological materials.
  • Oceanic talus breccia plays a crucial role in global biogeochemical cycles.
