Satellite Imagery

Satellite imagery is a valuable tool in geological mapping and exploration, giving rapid access to regional imagery over a tenement. In recent years, new higher resolution and multispectral scanners have become available, including ALOS, GeoEye, Ikonos, Quickbird, ASTER and ETM+, which have expanded our range of tools for mineral exploration. This makes it easier to map terrain elevation, regolith, geology, structure and to plan regional mapping or soil/stream sampling campaigns. Some of the data available for free and can provide very useful input for your exploration program.
