Integration of Remote Sensing and Field Data in Ophiolite Investigations: A Case Study of Logar Ophiolite Complex, SE Afghanistan

Mafic–ultramafics complexes are crucial for their tectonic implication, upper mantle condition, and hosting industrial minerals in a region. This study aims to highlight characterize the mafic–ultramafic rocks of Logar Ophiolite Complex using integration geospatial technology field data. The spatial distribution ophiolitic complex was examined this mineralogical indices (MI), band ratio (BR), spectral angle mapper (SAM) methods within framework Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Additionally, several samples were collected from identified validation, petrographic, analyses. Combining conventional approaches, e.g., sampling geological data analysis yields efficient discrimination with associated hydrothermal altered minerals. serpentinization carbonate processes predominantly seen along eastern side active fault zone following detection ophiolites. Detailed mapping achieved refined mafic index 12/14 4/8 SAM highlighting minerals, petrographic samples. works verified results ASTER findings can significantly contribute detailed geologic studies detected ophiolites terms emplacement mechanism ages.
