Remote sensing: Application to geological mapping with reflectance implication of rocks of the Webuye - Bungoma area
Abstract
This research is based on the application of conventional,
photogeological and remote sensing techniques in geological
mapping of the Webuye-Bungoma area, Kenya.
Conventional techniques focused on field traverses involving
sampling of rocks and their subsequent macroscoP1C and
microscopic examination as well as dip and strike data
.analysis. Fusion, accommodation and convergence methods were
used in photogeology. In r-emote sensing, geological mapping was
based on MSS, TM and SPOT imageries plus radiometric data.
Their spatial and spectral information ln reIation to the
present terrain, climate, geomorphology, environment,
instrument response, spectral region and data display were used
to establish geology, geological structures, natural resources
and land use
