Geospatial Analysis Applied to Mineral Exploration: Remote Sensing, GIS, Geochemical, and Geophysical Applications to Mineral Resources

by Amin Beiranvand Pour (Editor), Mohammad Parsa (Editor), Ahmed M Eldosouky (Editor)

Overview

Geospatial Analysis Applied to Mineral Exploration: Remote Sensing, GIS, Geochemical, and Geophysical Applications to Mineral Resources presents state-of-the-art approaches on recent remote sensing and GIS-based mineral prospectivity modeling for Earth scientists, researchers, mineral exploration communities and mining companies. This book will help readers solve high complexity issues in remote sensing data processing, geochemical data analysis, geophysical data analysis, and appropriate applications of GIS techniques for data fusion designed for mineral exploration purposes. It contains updated knowledge of remote sensing imagery, geochemistry, geophysics and geospatial techniques that can assist in delineating the signatures and patterns linked to deep-seated, covered, blind or buried mineral deposits. - Covers advances in remote sensing data processing algorithms and geochemical data analysis - Includes sections on geophysical data analysis and machine learning algorithms for mineral exploration - Introduces the suite of geo-spatial tools currently available for mineral exploration - Presents case studies to provide real-world examples of the theories covered

Editorial Reviews

"This useful book provides an overview of the key techniques that are essential parts of the modern exploration toolkit. It is intended for both geoscientists involved in mineral exploration and the data processing specialists who support them.... [It's] written for practitioners, assuming a considerable background in relevant aspects of geology and mineralogy, and often uses specialized terms and acronyms. The scope is global, as there are contributions from 26 authors, representing academic institutions in eight countries. The editors have done an excellent job in maintaining a uniform style and layout throughout. The high quality of the graphics deserves mention (there are 140 figures, and most are in color). Each chapter has extensive references, with more than 1400 in all. Despite the limited coverage of several topics, this book should be a valuable reference for anyone actively working in mineral exploration." — William R. Green, The Leading Edge, August 2024
