Integration of Satellite Remote Sensing Data for Gold Prospecting in Tropical Regions
The area under investigation is the Bau gold mining district in the State of Sarawak, East Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It has tropical climate with limited bedrock exposures and the other constraints imposed in the environment. Bau is a gold field with Carlin style gold deposits. Geological analyses coupled with remote sensing data were used to detect structure elements and hydrothermall...
متن کاملInfective Causes of Stroke in Tropical Regions
Vascular diseases of the brain are the second reason of the death and the first cause of morbidity and disability worldwide. In tropical areas stroke has some particular features related to the nature of torrid zones. There are some special causes of the stroke, mainly infectious, although some of them are non-infectious. The most important etiologies are malaria, tuberculosis, cysticercosis, s...
متن کاملStrategies for monitoring tropical deforestation using satellite data
Measuring the aerial extent of tropical deforestation for other than localized areas requires the use of satellite data.We present evidence to show that an accurate determination of tropical deforestation is very di cult to achieve by a ‘random sampling’ analysis of Landsat or similar high spatial resolution data unless a very high percentage of the area to be studied is sampled. In order to a...
متن کاملEvaluation of the potential of NASA multi-satellite precipitation analysis in global landslide hazard assessment
[1] Intense storms with high-intensity, long-duration rainfall have great potential to trigger rapidly moving landslides, resulting in casualties and property damage across the world. In recent years, through the availability of remotely sensed datasets, it has become possible to conduct global-scale landslide hazard assessment. This paper evaluates the potential of the real-time NASA TRMMbased...
متن کاملA satellite-based global landslide model
Landslides are devastating phenomena that cause huge damage around the world. This paper presents a quasiglobal landslide model derived using satellite precipitation data, land-use land cover maps, and 250 m topography information. This suggested landslide model is based on the Support Vector Machines (SVM), a machine learning algorithm. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ...
