abstract = "Theis research focuses on the integration on Synthetic Aperture
Radar (SAR)(C-HH airborne, JERS-1, ERS-1)with Landst TM and
airborne gamma ray (total count, uranium, and thorium)data for
geological mapping in Carajas Province, Brazil. The area is
related to an Archean shear belt, with metasediments,
metavolcanies, gneisses, and granulites. Anorogenic granites with
Middle Proterozoic ages are scattered throughout the study area.
The vegetation is typical of tropical upland rain forest. Radar
and Landsat TM produce enhanced images closely related to
geobotanical associations. Radar and gamma channels show the
relationships between terrain morphology and bedrock
radioactivity, good indicators of structures, Ethological units,
rock types, and hydrothermal metasomatism processes. The research
emphasizes the practical importance of using SAR integrated
products for geological mapping in the Amazon Region when airborne
geophysical data are available.",
