Description
Book SynopsisSatellites are able to gather a wide variety of data for earth scientists. This book presents both the theory and practical applications of remote sensing satellite data to geological problems. The applications include: mineral explorations, hydrocarbon exploration, stratigraphy, engineering geology, and environmental studies.
