• Surficial mineralogy,
• Vegetation.

The current study and status:

• AVIRIS data acquired spring 1994
• Coverage:
  • One line down continental divide (10 km wide), including bear and sand lake, up to north of trail ridge road.
• AVIRIS data acquired October 21, 1998
  • North of Trail Ridge Road to southern edge of park (and further south to Fairplay!).
• AVIRIS data currently being calibrated to surface reflectance.
• Mapping TBD.
• ER-2 high altitude IR photography acquired, and digital scanning (3.7-meter/pixel spatial resolution) for all AVIRIS flight lines still to be done. Full resolution images will be ~45 MBytes each. (See examples under our Arches N.P. page.)

• Roger N. Clark (Initial surficial mineralogy lead)
• Raymond F. Kokaly (Vegetation studies lead)
