Linear Deconvolution Mineral Maps of Compositionally Variable Dune Fields in the Western United States and Alaska
February 23, 2018
These geotiffs represent the raster GIS outputs of Linear Deconvolution (Linear Spectral Unmixing) analysis of ASTER image pixels covering various sand dune and sand sheet fields throughout the Western United States and Alaska. The accompanying sets of zip file contains linear deconvolution derived mineral fractional abundance maps for various 2-, 3-, 4,- and 5-component mixture models of various dune-forming minerals, as well as RMS and residual errors for each model. Each geotiff layer has an associated metadata file with further details on each dune field and linearly deconvoled mineral distribution.

Determining mineralogical variations of aeolian deposits using thermal infrared emissivity and linear deconvolution methods
We apply linear deconvolution methods to derive mineral and glass proportions for eight field sample training sites at seven dune fields: (1) Algodones, California; (2) Big Dune, Nevada; (3) Bruneau, Idaho; (4) Great Kobuk Sand Dunes, Alaska; (5) Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Colorado; (6) Sunset Crater, Arizona; and (7) White Sands National Monument, New Mexico.
