The Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) is characterized by extensional tectonics and volcanism, associated with active hydrothermal systems, alteration fumarolic deposits. spatial distribution of these products their link faults rock types provides important clues to what controls fluid flow in the subsurface. However, little known about this East African Rift. We address issue a multidisciplinary appro...

Bolaang Mongondow is located on the Eastern North arm of Sulawesi. This area a Neogene-aged magmatic arc composed plutonic and volcanic rocks that indicate mineralization-bearing host rocks. The study aimed to determine geological setting alteration based observations geochemical analysis. method used mapping, followed by laboratory studio data lithology this andesite, diorite, pyroclastic brec...

Abstract We used Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) multispectral mapping data to assess heterogeneity of primary and secondary mineral compositions Noachian‐aged regions Martian crust. Multispectral corroborate interpretations from CRISM targeted observations Observatoire pour la Mineralogie, l’Eau, les Glaces et l’Activité global large horizontal differences in verti...

Imaging spectrometer data (also known as 'hyperspectral imagery' or HSI) are well established for detailed mineral mapping from airborne and satellite systems. Overhead data, however, have substantial additional potential when used together with ground-based measurements. An imaging spectrometer system was used to acquire airborne measurements and to image in-place outcrops (mine walls) and box...

Since the beginning of the nineties, the CEA (the French Atomic Energy Commisssion), has been being developing ultrasonic modeling tools dedicated to NDT simulation and, over the years, integrated in the CIVA software platform. The models allow to compute ultrasonic beams generated by transducers in the inspected components, to conceive phased arrays transducers and to predict echoes arising fr...

introduction in remote sensing studies, especially those in which multi-spectral image data are used, (i.e., landsat-7 enhanced thematic mapper), various statistical methods are often applied for image enhancement and feature extraction (reddy, 2008). principal component analysis is a multivariate statistical technique which is frequently used in multidimensional data analysis. this method atte...

In geologic imaging spectroscopy studies, typical end products are often mineral maps. These maps are usually ambiguous and form a limited method of representing geological information that is potentially contained in spectroscopic images. This situation can be improved by mapping the spatial configuration of the effects of geological processes instead of the solely individual minerals in a non...

The sequence of the Drosophila melanogaster genome presented in this issue of Science is the latest milestone in nine decades of research on this organism. Genetic and physical mapping, whole-genome mutational screens, and functional alteration of the genome by gene transfer were pioneered in metazoans with the use of this small fruit fly. Here we look at some of the instances in which work on ...
