Remote sensing satellite image data, such as LANDSAT's TM images, JERS-1's OPS and SAR images, SPOT's HRV images, are valuable for large scale geological analysis and logistical planning in remote locations where information is scarce. Such satellite images are also used for environmental monitoring. The ASTER images being conducted by the (Foundation)
Earth Remote Sensing Data Analysis Center, include the thermal-infrared bands and broaden the application of remote sensing. JGI is also conducting basin evaluation services to provide estimation of hydrocarbon generation and accumulation using simulation modeling for the generation, migration and accumulation of oil and natural gas.
