Book Description
Mid-infrared (6 to 40 micrometers) spectra of metamorphic rocks and rock-forming minerals are presented, and their molecular vibration bands identified. While igneous and sedimentary rocks are typically composed of a few major rockforming minerals in different proportions, metamorphic rocks may contain many different mineral components, some of which are vertually unique to the metamorphic environment. As a result, metamorphic rocks display a great range in spectral behavior. However, similar metamorphic facies exhibit similar spectral behavior, and this behavior is readily understandable in terms of rock mineralogy. This understanding is aided by the fact that metamorphic recrystallization is usually accompanied by a sharpening of the spectral features.

Mid-infrared Spectral Behavior of Sedimentary Rocks
Author: Graham R. Hunt

ISBN:
Category : Infrared detectors
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Mid-infrared (6- to 40-micrometer) spectra of sedimentary rocks and rock-forming minerals are presented. Molecular vibration bands are identified and the causes of spectral scatter among different samples of the same rock type are determined. It is concluded that mid-infrared spectra of sedimentary rocks are an excellent guide to their major mineral content. The chief drawback for terrestrial remote sensing of these rocks is that the major carbonate absorption band lies outside the atmospheric window. (Author).

Mid-infrared Spectral Behavior of Igneous Rocks
Author: Graham R. Hunt
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Igneous rocks
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Midinfrared (6 to 40 micrometers) spectra of igneous rocks and rock-forming minerals are presented. Molecular vibration bands are identified, and the extent of spectral scatter among different samples of the same rock type is illustrated. Conclusions are drawn concerning the extent to which midinfrared spectral behavior of igneous rocks is diagnostic of composition.
