X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) part of Integrating Research and Education:Geochemical Instrumentation and Analysis:Techniques
X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a nondestructive technique for visualizing interior features within solid objects, and for obtaining digital information on their 3-D geometries and properties. A CT image is ...

Remote Sensing Imagery part of Integrating Research and Education:Teaching with GeoPads
Remotely gathered data is available from a range of sources and data collection techniques and is often the only type of data that is not always easily found within the public domain. This is largely due to the ...

Integrating GPS Units and GeoPads part of Integrating Research and Education:Teaching with GeoPads
Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers provide users with information about their geographic position. Although there is a plethora of choices when it comes to selecting GPS hardware, for a moderate-sized field ...

Georeferencing part of Integrating Research and Education:Teaching with GeoPads
Georeferencing is the process of taking a digital image, it could be an airphoto, a scanned geologic map, or a picture of a topographic map, and adding geographic information to the image so that GIS or mapping ...

Data Preparation for Geologic Mapping part of Integrating Research and Education:Teaching with GeoPads
Preparing data for a digital geologic mapping project generally involves three steps: Preparing digital base map data (i.e. downloadable or previously stored thematic, topographic, or remotely sensed data, or data ...

Topographic Data Resources part of Integrating Research and Education:Teaching with GeoPads
Topographic data are information about the elevation of the surface of the Earth. Two such data types are commonly used with GeoPads. The first are data that represent the information typically found on a ...
