• Extracting surface-temperatures and emissivities in the thermal (8-12 mm) and mid-infrared (3-5 mm) wavelengths using data from the spaceborne Multispectral Thermal Imager (MTI). This study is funded by the Department of Energy through the Los Alamos National Lab.
• Characterizing surface properties such as lithological composition and roughness of geomorphic surfaces, using remotely sensed data in the visible – shortwave infrared wavelengths (0.4-2.5 mm).
• Non-linear spectral effects in the Thermal infrared to discriminate desert landforms.
