Abstract
This paper considers the suitability of using multispectral remote sensing data from the Landsat-8 satellite for conducting regional geological and mineralogical mapping of the territory of southeastern Zabaykalsky krai (Russia) under conditions of medium–low mountain relief and continental climate. To increase the spectral information content of Landsat-8 satellite data, statistical processing algorithms are used, including principal component analysis (PCA), minimum noise fraction (MNF), and independent component analysis (ICA). Statistical processing results are compared with the classes of geological materials: minerals of the oxide/hydroxide group containing transitional iron ions (Fe3+ and Fe3+/Fe2+); a group of clay minerals containing Al-OH and Fe, Mg-OH; and minerals containing divalent iron ion (Fe2+) and vegetation cover. Pseudocolor RGB composites are generated and interpreted, reflecting the distribution and multiplication of classes of geological materials. To build a prospectivity scheme for the discovery of the minerals, the integration of informative thematic layers is carried out using a fuzzy logic model. The resulting scheme is compared with geological information, and positive conclusions are made about the suitability of territory for further remote studies on mapping hydrothermally altered zones and hypergenesis products in order to localize areas that are promising for revealing hydrothermal–metasomatic mineralization.
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.
