Remote Sensing Analysis of Geologic Hazards

Remote sensing of CO2 leakage from geologic sequestration projects

Monitoring for leak hazards is an important consideration in the deployment of carbon dioxide geologic sequestration. Failure to detect and correct leaks may invalidate any potential emissions benefits intended by such projects. Presented is a review of remote sensing methods primed to serve a central role in any monitoring program due to their minimally invasive nature and potential for large ...

Remote Sensing of Geologic Materials at Man-made Craters

Introduction: Craters made by nuclear detonations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) provide unique test beds for cratering processes and remote detection of the geologic materials present [1,2,3,4]. Here we present results of a remote sensing study that detected an unusual infrared spectral signature at Schooner crater. The signature matches an unusually fine tectosilicate. The deposits are present...

Drought Analysis of Alvand Boundary River Using Remote Sensing Data

Extended abstract 1- Introduction       The study of the behavior of rivers in the arid and dry areas is one of the most important tasks in the country. Because the area has increased the effects of drought due to the sensitivity of the area and rainfall shortage, it causes changes in the flow and sediment regime, water resources, agriculture, and so on. Since plants react more precisely to t...

Satellite Remote Sensing for Geologic Carbon Sequestration Field Monitoring

Carbon dioxide is one of the major greenhouse gases generated by human activities which, by virtue of its impact on global climate through “Greenhouse Warming”, are implicated in extreme environmental impacts such as more prevalent and more intense storms, bushfires, floods, droughts and heat waves. In order to constrain the growth of atmospheric CO2, Geologic Carbon Sequestration (GCS) has bee...
