Spatio-temporal copper prospectivity in the American Cordillera predicted by positive-unlabeled machine learning

A positive-unlabeled machine learning model predicts spatio-temporal copper prospectivity along the American Cordillera from subduction zone dynamics.

Kimberlite eruptions driven by slab flux and subduction angle

Machine learning reveals that the volume and angle of subducted oceanic plates control where and when diamond-bearing kimberlite eruptions occur.
