Comparison of ASTER and ETM+ data for exploration of porphyry copper mineralization: A case study of Sar Cheshmeh areas, Kerman, Iran
Conclusions
Comparison of Landsat and ASTER data over known altered areas shows that ASTER data has more capability than Landsat data for enhancing areas with hydrothermal alteration.
