Anthony R. Barringer, editor(s)
1980, Sixth Annual Pecora Symposium and Exposition 106-107
One of the most important contributions that remote sensing can make to mineral energy explorations to provide data from satellites to augment regional geological mapping. Geologic maps, which show information on the subsurface, are the main basis for formulating models of resource genesis that guide exploration. However, conventional...

Anthony R. Barringer, editor(s)
1980, Sixth Annual Pecora Symposium and Exposition 49-51
Color-ratio composite images of Landsat MSS (multi-spectral scanner) bands have been used by other workers to map the distribution of limonitic rocks in semi-arid and arid areas as possible indicators of hydrothermal alteration (Rowan et al, 1974). The images are particularly useful for broad overviews, but detailed analysis at...
High throughput Landsat imagery film recorder
David E. Ulmer
1980, Conference Paper, Proceedings Volume 0200, Laser Recording and Information Handling
The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center is responsible for processing, archiving, reproducing, and distributing satellite and aircraft remotely-sensed Earth imagery data in both film and digital format. Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) and Return Beam Vidicon (RBV) sensor data alone represents a daily recording requirement of 23 billion pixels...

Enumeration of prairie wetlands with Landsat and aircraft data
D.S. Gilmer, E.A. Work Jr., J.E. Colwell, D.L. Rebel
1980, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (46) 631-634
A method is described for making an estimate of wetland numbers in the glaciated prairie region. A double-phase sampling approach is used which consists of first making a total census of wetlands using Landsat data, and then adjusting the Landsat results on the basis of samples derived from high resolution...
Measurement of irrigated acreage in Western Kansas from LANDSAT images
K.M. Keene, C.D. Conley
1980, Environmental Geology (3) 107-116
In the past four decades, irrigated acreage in western Kansas has increased rapidly. Optimum utilization of vital groundwater supplies requires implementation of long-term water-management programs. One important variable in such programs is up-to-date information on acreage under irrigation. Conventional ground survey methods of estimating irrigated acreage are too slow to...
Remote sensing data of SP Mountain and SP Lava flow in North-Central Arizona
G. G. Schaber, C. Elachi, T.G. Farr
1980, Remote Sensing of Environment (9) 149-170
Multifrequency airborne radar image data of SP Mountain [Official name of feature (U.S. Geological Survey, 1970)] and SP flow (and vicinity) in north-central Arizona were obtained in diverse viewing directions and direct and cross-polarization, then compared with surface and aerial photography, LANDSAT multispectral scanner data, airborne thermal infrared imagery, surface...
Landsat detection of oil from natural seeps
M. Deutsch, J. E. Estes
1980, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (46) 1313-1322
Oil on the ocean surface from the natural seeps in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, could not be detected on frames of any of the four bands of standard Landsat positive or negative film transparencies, nor could the slicks be detected using digital scaling, density slicing, or ratioing techniques. Digital...
