Identification of phyllosilicates in the Antarctic environment using ASTER satellite data: Case study from the mesa range, Campbell and Priestley Glaciers, northern Victoria Land

In Antarctica, spectral mapping of altered minerals is very challenging due to the remote-ness and inaccessibility of poorly exposed outcrops. This investigation evaluates the capability of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) satellite remote sensing imagery for ma...
