The Glaciology Project Office (Tacoma, Washington) of the Dater Resources Division (WRD) of the GS and the National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are also directly involved In the preparation of the atlas. The Institute of Geography of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR has agreed to...
Página 171 - Luminescence studies Luminescence is the property of some materials to emit light when excited by external stimuli such as ultraviolet or visible light or by chemical or mechanical action. The Fraunhofer line discriminator (FLD) is an electro-optical device, developed by the EROS...
Página 156 - A record will be maintained on all maintenance required during the test period, and the transmitted data will be compared with on-site data. Other uses of Data Collection Platforms are noted as follows : National Park Service is using the GOES system to monitor water quality and weather in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. GS Geologic Division is cooperating with NOAA in a study of the Earth's magnetic field. The GOES system is used to relay information from 25 strategically placed magnetometers...
Página 144 - Program and the Bureau of Mines are cooperatively funding remote sensing projects in four States. In New Mexico, the Navajo and McKinley coal mines, Grants uranium district, and potash mining areas are being monitored using Landsat Imagery. In addition, digital analysis of Landsat data is being used for monitoring phosphate mines in Florida and kaolin mines in Georgia and South Carolina. The Conservation Division of the Geological Survey is also using aerial photographs and satellite imagery to delineate...

Página 167 - Precision measurement of intercontinental distances Improvement in understanding the dynamic mechanisms of the Earth's crust is needed to adequately describe the processes that have taken place throughout geologic time. Geologists throughout the world realize that reconstructing the tectonic history of the Earth will be a major step in explaining the occurrence of mineral resources, in aiding the search for new resources, and in aiding the prediction of geologic hazards associated with crustal movements.
Página 154 - The number of platforms that can be serviced is large, and, because GOES is in an Earth-synchronous orbit, data can be transmitted throughout a 24-hour period instead of limited to one or two periods each day, as in Landsat. Use of the Data Collection Platform that is compatible with both Landsat and GOES provides the opportunity to evaluate both systems under operational conditions. As a result of recent tests, it is becoming possible to specify the costs and benefits of adopting this technology...
Página 132 - The purpose of the EROS Program is to develop, demonstrate, and encourage applications of remotely sensed data acquired from aircraft and spacecraft which are relevant to functional responsibilities of the Department.
