Thesis:
Title:
Geothermal exploration with Hymap hyperspectral data at Brady-Desert
Peak, Nevada
Advisor:
Wendy Calvin
Topic Summary:
Applied the use of hyperspectral data to identify and map
geothermal-related minerals. This work was validated by field
checking and laboratory measurements that then led to new structural
interpretations.
