Synthesis of geophysical data with space-acquired imagery: a review Synthesis of geophysical data with space-acquired imagery: a review
Geophysical data obtained from ground and airborne platforms have been used in the development of regional geologic models for many years. Space-acquired data and imagery have a shorter but similar history of applications. All these data may be synthesized either manually or digitally. Manual synthesis methods consist of overlaying and comparing maps, whereas digital synthesis methods...

Objective procedures for lineament enhancement and extraction Objective procedures for lineament enhancement and extraction
A longterm research goal at EROS Data Center is to develop automated, objective procedures for lineament mapping. In support of this goal, a five-step digital convolution procedure has been used to produce directionally enhanced images, which contain few artifacts and little noise. The main limitation of this procedure is that little enhancement of lineaments occurs in dissected terrain...

An updated Bouguer anomaly map of south-central West Africa An updated Bouguer anomaly map of south-central West Africa
A new Bouguer gravity anomaly map compiled for western Africa adds data for Ghana, Guinea, and Liberia.The new data add detail to a key part of the Eburnean shield and assist in the development of a model of rifting at the time of the Eburnean orogeny, 2000 million years ago. This model includes a framework for the deposition of the region's mineral deposits. The model and existing field...

Alternate data sources for soil surveys on rangeland Alternate data sources for soil surveys on rangeland
Soil information is an essential theme in a digital information base for land management and resource monitoring, but public land management agencies seldom have detailed soil maps available for all of the area under their administration. Most of these agencies conduct soil surveys on a scheduled basis, but escalating costs and declining budgets are reducing the number of surveys that...

The role of remotely sensed and other special data for predictive modeling: the Umatilla, Oregon example The role of remotely sensed and other special data for predictive modeling: the Umatilla, Oregon example
Landsat data and 1:24 000-scale aerial photographs were initially used to map the expansion of irrigation from 1973 to 1979 and to identify crops under irrigation in 1979. The crop data were then used with historical water requirement figures and digital topographic and hydrographic data to estimate water and power use for the 1979 irrigation season. The final project task involved...

Slides showing quantitative models for mineral-resource assessment of the Rolla 1 degree x 2 degrees Quadrangle, Missouri Slides showing quantitative models for mineral-resource assessment of the Rolla 1 degree x 2 degrees Quadrangle, Missouri
Th.is report consists of nineteen 35-mm color slides sh.owing digital synthesis and quantitative modeling of five geologic recognition criteria for assessment of Mississippi Valley-type resource potential in the Rolla 1° x 2° quadrangle, Missouri. The digital synthesis and quantitative modeling (Pratt and others, 1982) was done to supplement an earlier manual synthesis and evaluation...
