Abstract
Satellite imagery is a large scale surface geological mapping too, which offers the unique opportunity to investigate the geological characteristics of remote areas of the earth surface without the need to access the area on the ground. The resolution of the technique is limited by the resolution of the imagery. This chapter explains how geological information can be extracted from satellite imagery and how this information can be merged with geological and geophysical data to build consistent geological models for the surface and subsurface. On the one hand, the interpretation of satellite imagery can generate start models prior to the start of geophysical surveys. On the other hand, geological and geophysical data can calibrate models derived from satellite imagery.
