Spectroscopy is used in the laboratory to measure the molecular components and concentrations of plant constituents to answer questions about the plant type, status, and health.
Elevated cold CO2 emissions from the flank of Mammoth Mountain volcano on the southwest rim of the Long Valley Caldera, eastern California, have been the cause of over 100 acres of dead trees in that area since 1990.
Understanding urban structures and processes is increasingly important as cities become the home of more of the earths population.
The tectonostratigraphic evolution of the southern margin of North American Plate in Mexico is still in debate. Recent explanations assert Laramide age (Campanian-Eocene) accretion of far-traveled oceanic terranes (Campa and Coney, 1983; Sedlock et al. 1993). In 1989, we began an effort to bring new data to this debate through field mapping, incorporating Lansat Thematic Mapper and digital elevation data, along a 30km by 250km, east-west geologic transect on northern Guerrero State.

A geocoding procedure for remotely sensed data of airborne systems in rugged terrain is affected by several factors: buffeting of the aircraft by turbulances, variations in ground speed, changes in altitude, attitude variations, and surface topography.
Remotely sensed data have geometric characteristics and representation which depend on the type of the acquisition system used. To correlate such data over large regions with other real world representation lools like conventional maps or Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for verification purposes, or for further treatment within different data sets, a coregistration has to be performed.

The objective of this project is to calibrate and validate the on orbit radiometric characteristics of SeaWIFS with underflights of NASA's calibrated Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer.
An imaging spectrometer measures a contiguous spectrum of light for each spatial element of an image.
Absorbing the electromagnetic radiation in several regions of the solar spectrum, C02 plays an important role in the Earth radiation budget since it produces the greenhouse effect. Many natural processes in the Earth's system add and remove carbon dioxide. Overall, measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide at different sites around the world show an increased carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere.
Various locations in the southwestern U.S. are used to calibrate remote sensing instruments.
We present a method for mapping target surface materials, based on their spectral signatures, in the presence of complicated and unknown backgrounds. The targets can be major scene component.
Remotely sensed data are affected by system (sensor and platform), and scene related effects. For quantitative investigations the spectral, radiometric and geometric characteristics of the system and scene have to be known.
None given. Paper covers dead trees in the Long Valley Caldera in the eastern Sierra Nevada (California) mountains. They measured the CO2 gas and other gasses from these dead and dying trees, and came to the conclusion that the trees are probably dying from oxygen deprivation.
