This manual of image interpretation demonstrates what to look for on imagery when engaged in mineral or hydrocarbon exploration, mine and oil field development, engineering projects, and environmental monitoring. Four sections comprise this volume: project initiation; exploration techniques; exploitation and engineering remote sensing; and environmental concerns. They combine to provide a solid foundation of what image interpretation is, and enables readers to recognize features of interest and effectively use imagery in projects for the petroleum, mining, or groundwater industries.
