The microseepage of gaseous hydrocarbons often creates a soil atmosphere containing lighter hydrocarbons (C1-C5). The gases in the soil may be sampled and analyzed to determine the specific mix of ...

Scientists created a large open database that uses light patterns to help satellites detect plastic in oceans more accurately from space.

Field spectroscopy enables scientists to measure how different materials interact with electromagnetic energy and therefore underpins the technology enabling us to view the world from the air or space ...

MTRI has applied the spectroradiometer to a variety of research projects, including turbidity and trophic state mapping; land cover analysis; the influence of bidirectional reflectance; road surface ...

Spectral imaging for conservators offers the promise of providing a non-destructive tool for the identification of artists’ materials in situ, as well as determining their spatial distribution in an ...
