Abstract

Remotely sensed imagery can be applied to neotectonic studies in ways quite different from its traditional use, the generation of enhanced spectral maps. Large neotectonic motions can be visually observed, seismogenic strain fields can be mapped, and the imagery can be combined with other geophysical data sets for synergistic, real-time exploration of multi-dimensional relationships.
