Environmental monitoring of acid sulphate soils in the Swan Coastal Plain, using hyperspectral methods

Abstract

Laboratory spectral measurements of soil samples collected from a range of environments in the Perth region demonstrated the ability to identify characteristic features of acid sulphate soils. Airborne hyperspectral imagery will be utilised to evaluate the ability to map acid sulphate soils on the Swan Coastal Plain. The expected results of the image processing will include surface mineralogy maps which will be used to identify areas of acid sulphate soils.
