Beyond Red MS Remote Sensing for Geoarchaeology
The document discusses the applications of multispectral remote sensing in geoarchaeology, emphasizing the differential reflectance of earth materials across the electromagnetic spectrum, particularly in the infrared. It outlines the principles, instruments, and methods employed in this technology, as well as its potential for enhancing the understanding of fluvial environments and anthropogenic features. Future advancements in high-resolution satellite imagery are also highlighted, along with the importance of image processing techniques for effective data analysis.

Beyond Red • MS remote sensing relies on the fact that different earth surface materials reflect the sun’s radiation to a differing degree across the electro-magnetic spectrum • Differential reflectance is enhanced in the infrared portion of the spectrum, especially for vegetation • MS instruments are passive sensors that detect and record the sun’s reflected energy simultaneously in a number of discrete spectral bands • Image processing methods allow the discrimination of different surface materials and properties by analysis of differential reflection across several spectral bands IRISH QUATERNARY ASSOCIATION ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF IRELAND 30th November 2012
