Página 135 - October 1977. Both in presented papers and in private discussions, it became apparent that the petroleum industry is not only the largest single customer of data from Landsat, but that they are now using the data routinely to improve their total exploration and planning programs. Many companies have established their own computerized data listings, and several are routinely using computer analysis methods in addition to conventional interpretation procedures.
Página 154 - 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 151 - Virginia. Data from the platforms are entered into the Survey's computer data base, from which they can be retrieved by over 225 computer terminals located in project, district, and regional offices throughout the United States. Work is proceeding closely with NOAA in testing the use of the Data Collection System on GOES. A Data Collection Platform has been developed that is compatible with either Landsat or the operational GOES. Several hundred of these Instruments have been manufactured, and deployment...
Página 139 - DC, netropolitan area compiled from October and April 1973 Landsat data. The map, at a scale of 1:1,000,000, is overprinted with place names and landmarks as well as census tracts on the Universal Transverse Mercator rectangular coordinate system. Computer analysis of Landsat image tapes has also enabled land use mappers to work at scales as large as 1:25,000.
Página 142 - ... in Georgia and South Carolina. The Conservation Division of the Geological Survey is also using aerial photographs and satellite imagery to delineate various categories of surface mining operations and stages of reclamation in the Powder River basin of Montana and Wyoming and in southeastern Idaho. Aerial photographs and Skylab and Landsat images are being evaluated for use in mapping land use, vegetation, and drainage in preparing environmental analyses and Impact statements. Also in this region,...

Página 165 - 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 disasters associated with crustal movements.
