The Application of Geochemical, Botanical,Geophysical,and Remote Sensing Mineral Prospecting Techniques to Tropical Areas (State of the Art and Research Priorities).

摘要

Both conventional and emerging new technologies for mineral prospecting are treated under the following major topical headings: Geochemical Prospecting, Botanical Prospecting,Geophysical Prospecting,and Remote Sensing. In addition to providing brief descriptions of various instruments and survey methodologies and their principal applications,approximate costs for basic instrumentation as well as for particular types of surveys have been estimated. Each section concludes with an identification of on-going research activities,research gaps,and priorities with respect to future research. (Author)
