Cuprite 1-um 3d
This talk is like a drink from a fire hose………
Illustrating diverse mineral mapping
being done with Imaging Spectroscopy.
Cuprite 2um 3d
We honor Alex Goetz with (yet) another look at Cuprite
Mineral deposits.
Provide resources for
modern society.
Possible sources of
life.
Possible sources of
acidic water.
Cuprite, Nevada is
an ancient
hydrothermal
alteration system
(like yellowstone.)
A real-world example
Let’s look for
well-crystallized
kaolinite at Cuprite.

But How Better to Honor Alex Than to Find
Something New at Good Old Cuprite?
Buddingtonite, Even!

•Finds NEW

•Better algorithms +
better data = better

– 100 km circular polar Orbit
– Two year mission duration
– PI: C. Pieters, Brown U.; Built by JPL
M3 is a pushbroom imaging spectrometer
– 40 km FOV, contiguous orbits
– 0.43 to 3.0 µm, high SNR
– 1 Gbyte/orbit
Targeted Mode: Optimum
– Resolution (100 km orbit):
• 70 m/pixel spatial
• 10 nm spectral [261 bands]
– 3 optical periods [10 - 30% coverage]
• 12 to 15 deg latitude/orbit
Global Mode: Full Coverage
– Resolution (100 km orbit):
• 140 m/pixel spatial
• 20 & 40 nm selected (87 bands,
~3x spectral averaging)
– 1 optical period [100%]
Clark et al., JGR (2003)
Ice shows a large
range of spectral
properties as a
function of
grain size. Phase
change shifts
bands. This allows
ice grain size and
melting snow to be
mapped.

AVIRIS sees the fires through
the smoke, making repeat
observations
• Sept 16th fire images were delivered
to the White House where agencies
were briefed on the results and
implications.
• Tuesday evening, Sept. 18: fire
fighting methods were changed.
CNN announces the firefighters are
changing from a rescue operation to
a recovery effort.
• Flights occur Sept 16, 18, 22, and
23, 2001.
• The fire fighting strategy helped.
• Spectral shape was used to
determine fire temperatures;
intensity the area of the fires.
• Analysis of fire temperatures
Indicated over 800o C on 9/16, but
mostly out by 9/23.
The debris has the same
composition as the rest
of the city
• The similarities in
composition makes mapping
WTC materials a challenge.
• The same materials can be
seen throughout the city.
• But one can use context to
see the debris cloud.
Orange pixels indicate possible
serpentines.
Clark et al., American Chemical
Society, 2005.
Green to yellow: WTC dust.
Spectroscopy was done on each WTC
sample then each sample was chemically
and physically analyzed
(Swayze et al., ACS, 2005).

• Imaging Spectroscopy has matured
in the last few years showing abilities
to map materials in environmental
and disaster situations. As well as
geology and ecosystems.
• As reference reflectance spectral
libraries become mature, more
applications could be developed,
including screening methods, real
time monitoring, and post event
assessment.
• Applications could include detection
and mapping of minerals, organics,
mineral fibers, biota, fires and their
temperatures and many other
materials.
• Operational imaging spectrometers
are working throughout the Solar
System
Conclusions
A field spectrometer is used to measure the composition
of a mud pit in Yellowstone National Park (it is kaolinite).
Imaging Spectroscopy:
A powerful Tool
Thank
You
