Description:
GFZ, DLR, UFZ, and GAF are cooperating in a project introducing airborne spectral measurements for the acquisition of compositional information on Central Germany"s dumped lignite overburden materials. DAIS 7915 (Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer) is providing hyperspectral reflective and multispectral thermal data. The test sites are the open pits of Zwenkau and Espenhain which are bordering the city of Leipzig. Geochemical and mineralogical analyses of field samples are used for calibration of the remotely sensed data and to study effects of acid mine drainage on the dumps" composition. This article presents the state of the project, background information, and first results.
