Abstract

This layer contains the areas identified as targets of potential geothermal activity. The Criteria used to identify the target areas include: hot/warm surface exposures modeled from ASTER/Landsat satellite imagery and geological characteristics, alteration mineral commonly associated with hot springs (clays, Si, and FeOx) modeled from ASTER and Landsat data, Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) known thermal hot springs/wells and heat-flow data points, Colorado deep-seated fault zones, weakened basement identified from isostatic gravity data, and Colorado sedimentary and topographic characteristics.

Remotely Sensed Thermal Anomalies in Western Colorado

Dataset Hussein, Khalid

This layer contains the areas identified as areas of anomalous surface temperature from Landsat satellite imagery in Western Colorado. Data was obtained for two different dates. The digital numbers of each Landsat scene were converted to radiance and the temperature was calculated in degrees Kelvin and then converted to degrees Celsius for each land cover type using the emissivity of that cover type. And this process was repeated for each of the land cover types (open water, barren, deciduous forest and evergreen forest, mixed forest, shrub/scrub, grassland/herbaceous, pasture hay, and cultivated crops). The temperature of each pixel within each scenemore »« less
Remote sensing and geophysical characterization of a floodplain-hillslope system in the East River watershed, Colorado

Dataset Falco, Nicola ; Wainwright, Haruko ; Dafflon, Baptiste ; ...

This package is part of the Watershed Function SFA Data Collection and contains remote sensing data and geophysical measurements acquired at the Pumphouse hillslope-floodplain site, in the East River, Colorado. The remote sensing dataset includes: a) a WorldView-2 (WV-2) pan-sharpened multi-spectral remote sensing image, and b) LiDAR derived products. The WV-2 image was acquired on September 24th, 2015, and it is composed of eight spectral bands (coastal, blue, green, yellow, red, red edge, NIR1, and NIR2) with a spatial resolution of 0.5 m, covering an area of 750x750 m. The LiDAR products are a digital surface model (DSM), representing themore »« less
Areas of Anomalous Surface Temperature in Routt County, Colorado, as Identified from ASTER Thermal Data

Dataset Hussein, Khalid

This layer contains areas of anomalous surface temperature in Routt County identified from ASTER thermal data and spatial based insolation model. The temperature is calculated using the Emissivity Normalization Algorithm that separate temperature from emissivity. The incoming solar radiation was calculated using spatial based insolation model developed by Fu and Rich (1999). Then the temperature due to solar radiation was calculated using emissivity derived from ASTER data. The residual temperature, i.e. temperature due to solar radiation subtracted from ASTER temperature was used to identify thermally anomalous areas. Areas that had temperature greater than 2o were considered ASTER modeled very warmmore »« less
