Remote Sensing has a wide array of applications across various fields, including environmental monitoring, agriculture, urban planning, and disaster response.
Satellite imagery is transforming mining industry and it is crucial for various apects of mining operations from mineral exploration and mine monitoring to environmental impact assessment. Satellite imagery can be used to locate potential mineral deposits by analyzing spectral signatures of rocks and vegetation, identifying altered zones, and mapping geological structures.
Remote sensing can reduce the risk of extensive on-site surveys, especially in remote and inaccessible areas.
In particular multispectral and hyperspectral data, can be used to create land cover maps, identify outcrops, water resources and map vegetation patterns, aiding in the selection of potential exploration sites.
With satellite data we can monitor the mining operations and infrastructure,identifing potential hazards like unstable slopes to prevent accidents.
Satellites can detect pollution sources associated with mining activities, helping to mitigate environmental impacts.
The basic principle for distinguishing minerals is that each rock or mineral has a different spectral response in relation to wavelength. A characteristic that is unique and allows its identification.
