Abstract
Side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) imagery in California is interpreted in terms of geologic structure and rock type. Field checks and comparison with published geologic maps indicate some revisions of existing maps. In particular, linears on the radar imagery point to previously unmapped faults. In outcrops where surface texture is related to bedrock lithology, the radar signature may indicate rock type. The unmanned Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) telemeters multispectral-scanner imagery that is reconstituted into reflected-infrared-color imagery. With respect to radar imagery, the ERTS imagery has poorer spatial resolution and smaller scale; nevertheless, useful regional patterns may be interpreted. Repetition of ERTS imagery on an 18-day cycle should enable us to determine the season for obtaining maximum geologic information. End_of_Article - Last_Page 802------------
