Abstract
This work is aimed at the practical application of satellite imagery data for the selection of promising areas during geological exploration work in conditions of medium-low mountainous terrain and a sharply continental climate. The processing results and analysis of WorldView-2 data within the Talmanskaya area are presented in order to identify zones of hydrothermal-metasomatic changes in rocks that are promising for identifying of gold-polymetallic mineralization. The choice of the study area is due to sufficient geological knowledge and the absence of man-made formations that affect the result of processing satellite imagery materials. To increase the spectral information content of the WorldView-2 data, the spectral channel ratio method was used, as a result of which a pseudocolor RGB composite was created that displays the spectral characteristics of objects on the Earth’s day surface, in particular, minerals of the oxide/hydroxide group containing transition iron ions (Fe3+ and Fe3+/Fe2+). A comparison of satellite data processing results along with geological information made it possible to identify spectral anomalies as indicators of the presence of near-ore changes, which are an important search criterion for hydrothermal deposits.
期刊介绍:
Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics is a journal that publishes original scientific research and review articles on vital issues in the physics of the Earth’s atmosphere and hydrosphere and climate theory. The journal presents results of recent studies of physical processes in the atmosphere and ocean that control climate, weather, and their changes. These studies have possible practical applications. The journal also gives room to the discussion of results obtained in theoretical and experimental studies in various fields of oceanic and atmospheric physics, such as the dynamics of gas and water media, interaction of the atmosphere with the ocean and land surfaces, turbulence theory, heat balance and radiation processes, remote sensing and optics of both media, natural and man-induced climate changes, and the state of the atmosphere and ocean. The journal publishes papers on research techniques used in both media, current scientific information on domestic and foreign events in the physics of the atmosphere and ocean.
