Description:
The LANDSAT Thematic Mapper (TM) studies of 2.2 my old ignimbrites in a test area around the Cerro Galan Caldera, N. W. Argentina, show that the ignimbrites exhibit a remarkable range of spectral characteristics dependent both on intrinsic and extrinsic properties resulting from aeolian weathering processes. Spectral profiles of the ignimbrite in four contrasted environments were constructed using 6 TM bands. The textural and structural characteristics of ignimbrites on Mars were evaluated.
