Walker Lane ASTER 90 meter Mosaic

The Walker Lane, Nevada Aster compilation is a mosaic of 75 ASTER images. The SWIR and TIR bands were mosaiced on a 90 meter base. The images were individually tied to the GeoCover Ortho Landsat TM mosaic of Southern Nevada (NASA/ Earthsat Corp.) which has an RMS positional error of about 50m.

The SWIR/THERMAL images map alteration "hot spots" throughout the Walker Lane. Click to view detailed images from Cuprite, Nevada.
