MAPPING Of lithological units of Çankiri Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey with proba chris hyperspectral data

Remote sensing provides a valuable basis for regional geological mapping. This study aims for the mapping of lithological units in Eldivan-Çankiri part of Çankiri Basin using hyperspectral remote sensing. A Proba (Project for On-Board Autonomy) CHRIS (Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) Level 1A hyperspectral satellite image of the study area is provided by European Space Agency (ESA) as a Category-1 LBR (Low bit rate) project for the mapping purposes. A field spectroscopy study at a time close to the overpass of the Proba CHRIS satellite has been carried out. Besides, hand specimens have been collected at some sites for laboratory spectroscopy study. Quantitative and qualitative information on reflectance properties of geological materials of Çankiri Basin are extracted from image, field and laboratory spectroscopy study.
