NIR, Metamorphic Petrology & Remote Sensing

This webinar focuses on the specific application of petrology and remote sensing.

In this webinar you will learn: 

- Why use NIR in metamorphic petrology? 

- An example combining field NIR and hyperspectral remote sensing in contact-metamorphosed impure dolomite 

- An example using field NIR to map variations in the intensity of regional metamorphism based on spectral changes in muscovite.
