Geological evaluation of infrared imagery, eastern part of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming and Montana
Smedes HW. 1968. Geological evaluation of infrared imagery, eastern part of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming and Montana. Technical Letter NASA-83. Washington, DC
Infrared imagery of part of Yellowstone National Park was studied to evaluate its usefulness in the remote sensing of geologic environment. Applications of infrared imagery to geology and geomorphology were studied by determining whether rock and soil types, structures, and thermal springs not observed on the ground or from conventional aerial photographs could be detected from this imagery. This report is primarily concerned with infrared imagery of areas underlain by the early Cenozoic volcanics; it involves the eastern third of the Park and the Washburn Range in the north-central part of the Park.
