Detection of geothermal anomalies using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared images at Bradys Hot Springs, Nevada, USA

Geothermal area detection using Landsat ETM+ thermal infrared data and its mechanistic analysis—A case study in Tengchong, China

“…Hellman and Ramsey (2004) investigated the geothermal hot springs of Yellowstone National Park using the thermal infrared data of Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS). Vaughan et al (2005) and Coolbaugh et al (2007) studied the geothermal hot springs in Nevada of the United States with TIR remote sensing. Fred et al (2008) provided a first quantitative representation of the surfacial geothermal activities in Yellowstone National Park using the ETM+ thermal infrared data.…”

The identification of geothermal with geographic information system and remote sensing in distric of Dolok Marawa

“…This study utilize TIRS of Landsat 8 OLI (path 058 and row 129) which able to predict the energy potential for several years in the future. Similar studies using a remote sensing were conducted for geothermal prospect in the Patuha area, West Java [5], Silali geothermal prospect in Kenya [6], hot springs in Nevada, USA [7], and in Hokkaido, Northern Japan [8]. Therefore, in this study on the geothermal potential was focus in the location of research interest of Dolok Marawa area by using a remote sensing method.…”

Thermal imaging of Nisyros volcano (Aegean Sea) using ASTER data: estimation of radiative heat flux

“…delta temperature) of 0.3 K, and one standard deviation calibration uncertainty of 1.0 K between 270.0 and 340.0 K. In this respect, ASTER is superior to Landsat because of (a) its 12-bit quantization in the thermal infrared channels and (b) more accurate surface temperature estimate because the AST08 product (kinetic temperature) uses the Temperature Emissivity Separation (TES) algorithm (Gillespie et al 1998) on five thermal channels. The use of ASTER thermal data in the detection of thermal anomalies above several volcanoes around the planet has been previously demonstrated in many studies (Ramsey and Dehn 2004, Pieri and Abrams 2004, Vaughan and Hook 2006 including geothermal activity areas (Coolbaugh et al 2007). On Nisyros island, previous work has shown that the whole-pixel temperature map extracted from ASTER band-13 night-time data is reasonably accurate and in agreement with Landsat 7 ETMþ results (Ganas and, retrieving surface temperatures in the range 13.0-28.0 C. On the other hand, for volcanoes with high surface temperatures above 150.0 C, short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) bands 5 (1.55-1.75 mm) and 7 (2.08-2.35 mm) of the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) have successfully been used (Rothery et al 1988, Oppenheimer 1991.…”
