| Summary: | <p>This study implemented the integration of optical (Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and SPOT 5) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (ERS-2 SAR) C-band remote sensing data, and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) extracted from topographic maps (I :50,000) to improve the visual interpretation and discrimination of different lithological units and structural features in the Gharyan area of northwest Libya. Most lithological and structural units are distinguishable based on their topographic form and spectral properties. The results discriminated different rock units and modified formation boundaries and revealed new geological lineaments. The results provided information about the tectonic evolution of the study area. Field work was done for groundbased verification of remote sensing data.</p> |
