This image consists of three enhanced, shortwave- infrared (SWIR) bands (4, 6, and 8) of a mosaicked ASTER dataset covering the study area. These data have been orthorectified to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection using a projective transform with ground control points and a digital elevation model from the USGS National Elevation Dataset (1/3 arc second, 10m resolution). The three ASTER bands have been saturation enhanced and sharpened to 15 m spatial resolution using edge-enhanced ASTER band 2 to modulate intensity. This image, in ERDAS Imagine (.img) format, has been designed for viewing and integration with other geospatial data in most image processing and GIS software packages. Purpose: The purpose of the image is to enable the visual discrimination of mineral groups and other surface features over the study area. When the provided bands (4,6, and 8) are displayed as a color composite (468/RGB, or 123/RGB for this dataset), the colors can be interpreted according to the following guide: Magenta: minerals with Al-OH SWIR absorptions (clays, sulfates, and white micas). Red: Al-OH minerals + ferric iron +/- minor carbonate +/- dry vegetation. Orange to reddish orange: dry vegetation +/- minor Al-OH minerals +/- minor carbonate. Brown to reddish brown: green vegetation. Yellow/Green: carbonate minerals (e.g. calcite, dolomite) more likely yellowish; chlorite, epidote and (or) amphiboles with ferric/ferrous iron absorptions more likely greenish. White: High-albedo surfaces such as playas which may contain clays, micas, and/or other minerals.

Edge-enhanced ASTER band 2 was used to modulate intensity. Prior to spectral and spatial enhancement, data were converted to radiance units (W/m2/sr/micron) through multiplication by gain values per band. Although the SWIR data (bands 4-9) have a GIFOV of 30m, they have been resampled to 15m pixel size to match that of the VIS-NIR data (bands 1-3). Each of the three included ASTER bands has attributes generated by the author using ERDAS software regarding edge-enhanced radiance values, value histogram frequency counts, contrast table data, and contrast table breakpoints for the contrast stretch. Contrast stretches are only applied to the data if they are loaded in ERDAS Software. All attributes are accompanied by statistics of data distributions. The image file can be used to display color composites (band assignments to red, green, and blue colors) that are useful for visual discrimination of surface features. 468/RGB color composite (123/RGB for this dataset): visualization of rock and mineral type. Magenta: minerals with Al-OH SWIR absorptions (clays, sulfates, and white micas). Red: Al-OH minerals + ferric iron +/- minor carbonate +/- dry vegetation. Orange to reddish orange: dry vegetation +/- minor Al-OH minerals +/- minor carbonate. Brown to reddish brown: green vegetation. Yellow/Green: carbonate minerals (e.g. calcite, dolomite) more likely yellowish; chlorite, epidote and (or) amphiboles with ferric/ferrous iron absorptions more likely greenish. White: High-albedo surfaces such as playas which may contain clays, micas, and/or other minerals.
