Remote mineral mapping using AVIRIS data at Summitville, Colorado and the adjacent San Juan Mountains

摘要: We have demonstrated the unique utility of imaging spectroscopy in mapping mineral distribution. In Summitville mining region we shown that mine site does not contribute clay minerals to Alamosa River, but Fe-bearing minerals. Such potential carry heavy metals. This application illustrates only one specific environmental data. For instance, types can map with confidence are those frequently associated problems related active and abandoned lands. Thus, this technology field science has yet be fully explored.
