Associated Events
Satellite ASTER Data and Mineral Spectroscopy
for Mapping and Exploration
Tuesday 30 October
9.00am - 5.00pm
Geological Survey of Queensland, Brisbane
This course aims to provide the background theoretical spectral knowledge to improve skills for using hyper- and multispectral data for mineral mapping and exploration. The newly released Australian ASTER mineral map provides the first continent scale overview of mineralogy derived from multispectral data. The instrument, as well as atmosphere and scattering effects and solutions to information extraction and product generation will be presented during the workshop.
Mineral maps derived from hyperspectral remote and proximal sensing data provide information about mineral abundances and compositional changes of minerals and are therefore ideal for integration with geological maps and geophysical data to enhance understanding of mineral systems. They are valuable tools for characterising the regolith and for mapping viable fluid sources and pathways, depositional sites and outflow zones. Hyperspectral data are particularly useful for identifying geochemical gradients where metals may have deposited.
