Seyyed Saeed Ghannadpour; Samaneh Esmaelzadeh Kalkhoran; Maedeh Behifar; Hadi Jalili

Articles in Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available Online from 21 July 2024

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2024.14644.2765

Abstract
  In this study, with the aim of identifying alteration zones related to the porphyry copper system, satellite images are processed in study area (the Zafarghand exploration area) in the NE of Isfahan. For this purpose, one of the common methods of separating geochemical anomalies from the background, ...  Read More

Mapping Lithological Units of an Evaporite Formation using ASTER data: a Case Study from Zagros Fold Belt, SW Iran

Khadijeh Validabadi Bozcheloei; Majid Hashemi Tangestani

Volume 15, Issue 2 , April 2024, , Pages 637-648

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13629.2518

Abstract
  Evaporites are sediments that chemically precipitate due to the evaporation of an aqueous solution. Most evaporite formations, in addition to evaporite minerals, include detrital rocks such as mudstone, marl, and siltstone. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Directed Principal Component Analysis (DPCA), ...  Read More

Classification of ASTER Data by Neural Network to Mapping Alterations Related to Copper and Iron Mineralization in Birjand

Jabar Habashi; Majid Mohammady Oskouei; Hadi Jamshid Moghadam

Volume 15, Issue 2 , April 2024, , Pages 649-665

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13640.2520

Abstract
  The studied area located in eastern Iran shows a high potential for various mineralizations, especially copper due to its tectonic activity. Remote sensing data can effectively distinguish these areas because of the sparse vegetation. Therefore, in this study, the ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission ...  Read More

Seyyed Saeed Ghannadpour; Morteza Hasiri; Hadi Jalili; Somayeh Talebiesfandarani

Volume 15, Issue 2 , April 2024, , Pages 667-681

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13652.2525

Abstract
  The Zafarghand area (as a porphyry Cu deposit) is located in the northeast of Isfahan and southeast of Ardestan, which is a part of the Iran-Central structural zone, and more precisely, it is located in the Urmia-Dokhtar volcanic belt. In the porphyry Cu deposits exploration, identifying and determining ...  Read More

M. Honarmand; H. Ranjbar; H. Shahriari; F. Naseri

Volume 9, Issue 4 , October 2018, , Pages 981-997

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2018.7061.1549

Abstract
  This research was performed with the objective of evaluating the accuracy of spectral angle mapper (SAM) classification using different reference spectra. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) digital images were applied in the SAM classification in order to map the ...  Read More
