Earth-System Prospectivity Framework

Paper 324 of 383
Published June 1, 2026

Prospectivity describes the likelihood that a region may warrant further investigation.

Prospectivity is not certainty.

It is prioritization.

This paper evaluates prospectivity through the accumulation of geological constraints, persistence indicators, inheritance relationships, and opportunity-supporting observations.


Prospectivity Components


Prospectivity Principle

The strongest prospects frequently emerge where independent observations repeatedly reinforce the same region.

Prospectivity therefore increases through convergence.
