Abstract
AbstractThis work focuses on the application of optical remote sensing techniques, in particular, the comparison between different methodological approaches in order to highlight structural lineaments within the Tichka massif in the Western High Atlas of Morocco. Lineaments were extracted from Landsat ETM+ and ASTER Images, and ASTER DEM. The extracted lineaments were analyzed to understand which material is most suitable for the extraction of lineaments accurately. The results showed that the maximum number of lineaments could be extracted by using ASTER Images. However, this study suggests that the combination of all extracted lineaments from different entries provides the most detailed geological lineaments. The results denoted a good agreement with field data, confirming the potentiality of the applied techniques in geological studies. The combination of different findings allowed the establishment of structural maps supporting the geological interpretation of the Tichka massif characterized by different geodynamic settings.KeywordsRemote sensingLineamentsPaleozoicTichkaWestern High AtlasMorocco
