Complex shapes that form by natural processes are often difficult to explain using non-Euclidean geometry. Chalcopyrite disease (CD) formation, a replacement texture, demonstrates a nonlinear-fractal geometry. CD samples from three polymetallic deposits were chosen for fractal analysis. CD did not show a fractal value specific to mineralized deposits. However, fractal analysis showed consistent values for a similar form of CD, thus setting a quantitative relationship between varied forms of CD and their condition of formation. The mean fractal dimension calculated for each study area displayed a positive correlation with the peak metamorphic grade of the respective deposit. The statistical analysis (ANOVA) of fractal dimension data further delineated the differences among the three study areas.Keywords

In this study, we assessed the glacier stored water (1,620 ± 340 Gt) using a combination of ice dynamics modelling and volume–area scaling method and estimated glacier mass loss (6.4%) from 2001 to 2013 for the Indus River basin. Results indicate that the impact of climate change is not uniform across the basin, especially the stark difference between the Western Himalayan region where the glaciers are losing mass at the rate of –0.56 ± 0.27 m.w.e. per annum and the Upper Indus where the loss is at –0.18 ± 0.11 m.w.e. per annum.Keywords
