Application of ASTER and Landsat TM data for geological mapping of esfandagheh ophiolite complex, southern Iran

This research developed an approach to enable the discrimination of lithological units and detection of host rock of chromitite bodies within ophiolitic complexes using the advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) and Landsat thematic mapper (TM) satellite data.
