Investigating peatland stratigraphy and hydrogeology using integrated electrical geophysics

Investigating Alteration Zone Mapping Using EO-1 Hyperion Imagery and Airborne Geophysics Data

Hyperspectral remote sensing records reflectance or emittance data in a large sum of contiguous and narrow spectral bands, and thus has many information in detecting and mapping the mineral zones. On the other hand, the geological and geophysical data gives us some other fruitful information about the physical characteristics of soil and minerals that have been recorded from the surface. ...

An introduction to electrical resistivity in geophysics

Physicists are finding that the skills they have learned in their training may be applied to areas beyond traditional physics topics. One such field is that of geophysics. This paper presents the electrical resistivity component of an undergraduate geophysics course at Radford University. It is taught from a physics perspective, yet the application of the theory to the real world is the overrid...

Estimate of Peatland Distribution in Estonia Using an Integrated GIS/RS Approach

Determination of the spatial extent of peatland is important for the evaluation of soil carbon stocks. At European Level there is a need to provide accurate and updated estimate of the distribution of peatland. Comparison of national data with EU wide land cover mapping shows that there is limited compatibility between the different data sets. The aim of the present study is to test a methodolo...

Geomatics in hydrogeology

Design and construction of hydrogeological information systems is now a necessity. For proper functionality of these systems, it is necessary to create them in accordance with widely accepted international standards regarding geospatial information. Geomatics research tools allow for creation of basic models of hydrogeological data, consistent with these standards. The models can be based upon ...
