Hyperspectral Imaging in Long Valley Caldera, California, USA






        We are currently analyzing remotely sensed imagery of Long Valley Caldera for structural, petrological, and biological content. A wide range of imagery is used in this study including two hyperspectral datasets: Airborne Visible-Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data and the newly acquired 3m HyMap data. Various other multispectral datasets such as Landsat and SPOT are also utilized.
