An erosional landscape characterized the Western Ghats in the Deccan Volcanic Province of India. The upland region shows the absence of sedimentological records for the stratigraphic period from post-Eocene to prePleistocene, except laterites which are extensively developed. The absence of any sedimentological records, therefore, has put severe constraint on the reconstruction of the Tertiary h...

Bauxite deposits of Jharkhand in India are resulted from the lateritization process and therefore are often associated with the laterites. In the present study, ASTER (Advanced Space borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) image is processed to delineate bauxite rich pockets within the laterites. In this regard, spectral signatures of lateritic bauxite samples are analyzed in the labo...

This study evaluates the potential of Cand L-band polarimetric SAR data for the discrimination of iron-mineralized laterites in the Brazilian Amazon region. The study area is the N1 plateau located on the northern border of the Carajás Mineral Province, the most important Brazilian mineral province which has numerous mineral deposits, particularly the world’s largest iron deposits. The plateau ...

The present article presents the study of three laterites from Triãngulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba region, aiming to use it as a pavement base. methodology used consisted carrying out tests prescribed by DNIT 098/2007 standard and, complementary methodology, linear contraction, MCT classification, modulus resilience X-ray diffractometry were introduced. Four mixtures laterite with sand prepare...
