This study in Railroad Valley demonstrates a unique surface geochemical expression of one particular lineament, herein named the Currant Lineament, which appears to have a dramatic effect on the commercial possibilities for a subsurface oil deposit. The noncommercial Currant No. 1 well is located just to the southeast of a NE-SW linear feature, which crosses the valley through the town of Currant in northern part of Railroad Valley. The location of this lineament is obvious on all of the regional remote-sensing products. Although the lineament is dramatically expressed both northeast and southwest of Currant, it is not as obvious in the centre of the study area. Even more detailed aerial... 

A comparison of the regional lineament interpreted from satellite remote-sensing data with the detailed composite interpretation from aerial photography shows that the azimuth of the Currant lineament is expressed only in the short photolineaments. 

Stratification is facilitated by on-ground sampling, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS). Relevant remote-sensing platforms include aerial photography, airborne lidar, and satellites. After stratification, the annual yields of the entire forest can be tallied from the yield tables. 

Subterranean. Numerous techniques are used in subterranean remote sensing. For example, the data from aerial hyperspectral sensors are compared against spectral signature libraries for detection of mineral ores. Electromagnetic induction coils are used to detect changes in conductivity caused by groundwater, buried objects, or chemical contaminants. Flandheld, aerial, or spacebome ground-... 

Multi-spectral aerial photography represents the simplest type of reflective remote sensing. A number of ahgned identical cameras equipped with different filters, are activated at the same time. This technique produces images directly and can be used to monitor land vegetation, and oil, algae and turbidity in water. The sensitivity of photographical materials only extends...
