Thermal infrared mosaic of Quartzville Creek, OR. These images were captured on the year 2000 as part of an airborne thermal infrared survey conducted in the Santiam River basin, OR. The images were orthorectified and mosaicked into a single raster in order to identify and visualize thermal heterogeneity.
