Application of ASTER multispectral imageries for identification and characterization of minerals in India

This comparison shows the application of ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) multispectral remote sensing data for the mineralogy of various geologically important areas in India. Due to the availability of extended wavelength bands (visible to thermal infrared), the ASTER data is still beneficial (decommissioned in 2009) for mineralogical applications.
