Geological lineaments are linear or curvilinear surfaces that considered a superficial expression of discontinuities on the earth’s surface. The extraction from remotely sensed satellite data is one most frequently used applications remote sensing in geology. This study focuses semi-automatic Girón–Santa Isabel basin using Topographic Position Index (TPI). were extracted PCI Geomatics 2016 soft...

Extracting fault, unconformity, and horizon surfaces from a seismic image is useful for interpretation of geologic structures and stratigraphic features. Although others automate the extraction of each type of these surfaces to some extent, it is difficult to automatically interpret a seismic image with all three types of surfaces because they could intersect with each other. For example, horiz...

The above question was asked by a sincere second-year medical resident who was struggling with the decision regarding career choices. Advice received by many, including the Chairman of Medicine, was to become an internist/primary care physician in order to maximize the probability of future employment security. This advice sounds very convincing in today’s marketplace and seems to be supported ...

The basement of southeast Brazil is traditionally interpreted as the result Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic orogenic cycles. Wide regions Atlantic Plateau (southeast Brazil) are characterized by rocks tectonic structures Precambrian age. According to classical literature, these have not been affected tectonics since Miocene, despite fact that they rest close Cenozoic basins, which suffered r...

We describe several segmented lineaments on Europa’s surface. These lineaments are extensive, stretching for 100s–1000s of km, and have ridge complex or bright band morphologies. The geometries of the segmented portions of these features are diagnostic of the remote normal and shear stress environment in which they formed and, therefore, constrain ridge complex and bright band formation mechani...

Earth consists of hard rock layers where water is restricted to secondary permeability, and thus to fractures and the weather zones. Structural geology studies, geologic lineaments and their pattern information are essential for better planning and execution of projects to avoid any natural hazards. Satellite images, aerial photographs and digital elevation models will give lineament informatio...

An integrated approach with remote sensing, GIS and traditional fieldwork techniques was adopted to assess the groundwater potential in the central highlands of Eritrea. Digitally enhanced color composites and panchromatic images of Landsat TM and Spot were interpreted and thematic maps on lithology and lineaments prepared. Structural features were measured in the field and orientations compare...

Introduction: The Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous NEAR-Shoemaker spacecraft orbited the asteroid 433Eros for a year from 2000-2001. The NEAR Multi-Spectral Imager (MSI) collected tens of thousands of high resolution images and as a result Eros is the most comprehensively studied asteroid in the solar system. Previous mapping of lineaments on Eros has supported the suggestion of planes throughout...
