3D Geological Modelling of the Middle Proterozoic stratigraphy, Belcher Islands: Integration of ASTER imagery and SRTM Topography
Regional scale geological maps are still not available for many remote parts of the Earth. All geological maps contain two fundamental pieces of information: a) lithological data: a list of the various rock types present, and b) structural data: geometrical information that describes the spatial rel...

Regional scale geological maps are still not available for many remote parts of the Earth.

For the purposes of regional scale geological mapping the short wavelength infrared bands of the ASTER satellite are capable of differentiating between some rock units typical of Precambrian terrane (red beds, volcanics and carbonates).
