Boolean algebra was used to combine mineral assemblages identified through analysis of visible, near-infrared, and shortwave-infrared ASTER data into alteration types based on common mineralogical definitions of such types. Alteration types modeled in this way can be stratified relative to acid producing and neutralizing potential to aid in geoenvironmental watershed studies. Identified mineral assemblages not related to hydrothermal alteration (for example, those related to sedimentary and metamorphic lithologies) are included in this map, and can be differentiated from alteration through the use of a geologic map. This mapping was performed in support of multidisciplinary studies involving the predictive modeling of mineral resource potential and surface water geochemistry at watershed and regional scales. A primary purpose of these studies is to determine the relative effects of mining and non-anthropogenic hydrothermal alteration on watershed surface water geochemistry and faunal populations. These data have been georeferenced to the Universal Transverse Mercator projection (Zone 13N) using a combination of second-order polynomial and cubic spline transformations. This map, in ERDAS IMAGINE (.img) format, has been attributed by pixel value with material identification data that can be queried in most image processing and GIS software packages. Purpose: The purpose of the image is to display the type and spatial distribution of hydrothermal alteration modeled by Boolean combination of mineral assemblages identified using ASTER satellite remote sensing data.
