FINESSE Research Objectives
To merge terrestrial aerial and orbital datasets spanning the visible, near-infrared, shortwave infrared and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum into one cohesive collection. With this merged dataset, I hope to analyze and interpret geochemical and mineralogical variation within our field sites due to magmatic evolution and post-emplacement alteration. The lessons learned from this study will aid in the interpretation of similar analyses of volcanic terrains on other terrestrial bodies in our solar system.
