Illustrates and explains the use of remote sensing imagery in exploration, exploitation, engineering and environmental applications. The book is a reference for how to begin a remote sensing project, coordinate project flow, and acquire imagery. It also lists tools of the trade.
This manual of image interpretation demonstrates what to look for on imagery when engaged in mineral or hydrocarbon exploration, mine and oil field development, engineering projects, and environmental monitoring. Four sections comprise this volume: project initiation; exploration techniques; exploitation and engineering remote sensing; and environmental concerns. They combine to provide a solid foundation of what image interpretation is, and enables readers to recognize features of interest and effectively use imagery in projects for the petroleum, mining, or groundwater industries.

Dr Prost obtained a BSc in geology from Northern Arizona University and a MSc and PhD in geology from Colorado School of Mines. Over the past 26 years Dr Prost has worked for the US Geological Survey mapping coal, then Superior Oil and Amoco using remote sensing in mineral and petrolium exploration, for Gulf Canada and Conoco in Latin American new ventures and Canadian frontiers. He is presently involved in exploring the Mackenzie-Beaufort basin and evaluating Parsons Lake field, Canada. A registered professional geologist in Wyoming, Dr Prost was involved in the discovery of 4.35 trillion cubic feet of gas and 65 million barrels of oil offshore Trinidad.

Remote Sensing for Geologists: A Guide to Image Interpretation covers technology and processing techniques as they directly relate to interpreting imagery. This book is a manual of image interpretation that demonstrates what to look for on imagery when engaged in mineral or hydrocarbon exploration, mine and oil field development, engineering projects, and environmental monitoring. Four sections comprise this volume: project initiation; exploration techniques; exploitation and engineering remote sensing; and environmental concerns. They combine to provide you with a solid foundation of what image interpretation is, and enables you to recognize features of interest and effectively use imagery in projects for the petroleum, mining, or groundwater industries.
