Abstract

Abstract Multispectral scanning was evaluated as an aid to the rapid assessment of sand and gravel resources in areas of scattered drift deposits. In the area chosen, where glacial sands and gravels, tills, river terrace deposits and alluvium overlie Mercia Mudstone Group mudstones with thin sandstone bands, it was found possible to delineate areas of alluvium and outcrops of sandstone, but not to distinguish sands and gravels from till clays or from mudstones. The reasons for these results are discussed.
