Remote Sensing Desert Landforms (MTI)

Principals - Alan Gillespie, Amit Mushkin,

  • Extracting surface-temperatures and emissivities in the thermal (8-12 mm) and mid-infrared (3-5 mm) wavelengths using data from the spaceborne Multispectral Thermal Imager (MTI). This study is funded by the Department of Energy through the Los Alamos National Lab.
  • Characterizing surface properties such as lithological composition and roughness of geomorphic surfaces, using remotely sensed data in the visible – shortwave infrared wavelengths (0.4-2.5 mm).
  • Non-linear spectral effects in the Thermal infrared to discriminate desert landforms.
