sakhtehesar mountain is located in urumieh-dokhtar magmatic belt and is composed of volcanic and subvolcanic rocks (pliocene andesite to dacite) which intruded the volcanics and pyroclastics of paleocene age. three alteration zones including potassic, phyllic and propylitic are recognized in the area. in this paper, the mineral chemistry of magmatic and primary biotite and the mineral chemistry...

In order to determine mineralogy of rock and soil samples, reflectance and emittance spectroscopy in the near-infra red and short-wave infra-red is used extensively and found to be inexpensive. Hyper spectral remote sensing satellite data are found to be prospective to deliver in depth physico-chemistry like mineralogy, chemistry, morphology of the earth’s surface. Therefore hyper spectral data...

Hydrocarbon seeps cause chemical and mineralogical changes at the surface, which can be detected by remote sensing. This paper aims at the detection of mineral alteration induced by gas seeps in a marly limestone formation, SW Iran. For this purpose, the multispectral Advance Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and the high spatial resolution WorldView-2 (WV-2) data we...

Bolaang Mongondow is located on the Eastern North arm of Sulawesi. This area a Neogene-aged magmatic arc composed plutonic and volcanic rocks that indicate mineralization-bearing host rocks. The study aimed to determine geological setting alteration based observations geochemical analysis. method used mapping, followed by laboratory studio data lithology this andesite, diorite, pyroclastic brec...

one of the major strengths of a geographic information system (gis) in geosciences is the ability to integrate and combine multiple layers into mineral potential maps showing areas which are favorable for mineral exploration. these capabilities make gis an extremely useful tool for mineral exploration. several spatial modeling techniques can be employed to produce potential maps. however, these...

Remote sensing techniques and spatial data analysis through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been jointly applied in a mineral exploration context to identify gold-rich potential areas in SE Spain. Results conŽ rm the usefulness of this integrated methodological approach as an eVective tool to assess mineral potential in the studied region. Satellite and airborne image analysis have oV...

The airborne hyper-spectral survey system CASI/SASI, which has an integrated for gathering both image spectral data, is at the cutting edge developments in remote-sensing field. It can be used to directly identify surface objects based on diagnostic characteristics. In this paper, CASI/SASI were Huaniushan gold-silver-lead-zinc ore district–Gansu produce a lithologic map, altered minerals, and ...

Most geoscientists are familiar with the colorful LandSat imagery we have been provided with for almost 30 years. These multispectral data sets have allowed us to see the earth in colors not accessible to the human eye and hence allowed discrimination of previous, not distinguishable geological features. Technology has progressed and it is now possible to view the earth not only in a few, but h...
