ACQUISITION OF HYPERSPECTRAL CAMERAS

1256202 Khan地球科学仪器和设施计划部门支持购买便携式高光谱相机系统(近红外)，以支持密歇根大学的研究和教育。这些仪器将增强休斯顿大学的其他数字地质制图工具(TLS)。该仪器将支持研究和研究培训，这将受益于对地质露头进行光谱表征的能力，以支持新构造研究，目的是绘制(来自蛇绿岩研究的)古代大洋游乐带之下熔体通道的分布图，开发三维流体流动模型，了解岩石蚀变和硫化物矿化。所要求的系统将补充现有的陆地激光扫描仪，用于研究基本地质过程、减轻自然灾害和能源勘探，并将开发用于TLS和高光谱数据融合的过程。该仪器将服务于研究生和博士后研究人员，与密歇根大学的PI和其他教员一起工作，并通过整合到位于蒙大拿州雷德洛奇的休斯顿大学黄石大角研究联盟(YBRA)提供的地质学野外营地来支持本科生教育。呃IS是一个少数人服务的机构。***

1256202KhanThis Division of Earth Sciences Instrumentation and Facilities Program grant support acquistion of a portable hyperspectral camera system (near infrared) to support research and education at UH. The instruments will augment other digital geologic mapping tools (TLS) at the University of Houston. The instrument will support research and research training that would benefit from the capability to spectroscopically characterize geologic outcrops in support of neotectonic studies with the goals of mapping the distribution of melt channels beneath ancient mid-ocean rides (from ophiolite studies), developing 3D fluid flow models, understanding rock alterations and sulphide mineralization. The requested systems will complement an extant Terrestrial Laser Scanner for studies of fundamental geological processes, natural hazard mitigation and energy resource exploration and processes for TLS and hyperspectral data fusion will be developed. The instrument will serve graduate students and post-doctoral researchers working with the PIs and other faculty at UH and support undergraduate eduction through incorporation into a geology field camps offered by the University of Houston at Yellowstone Bighorn Research Alliance (YBRA) site in Red Lodge, Montana. UH is is a minority serving institution. ***
