IDENTIFICATION OF ACTIVE AREAS OF EARTHQUAKE BY THERMAL REMOTE SENSING

IDENTIFICATION OF ACTIVE AREAS OF EARTHQUAKE BY THERMAL REMOTE SENSING

The study investigates the ability of thermal remote sensing in identification of seismic active areas. The thermal characteristics of Land Surface Temperature (LST) represent changes before strong earthquakes. The objective of this research is to find the relationship between earthquake active area...

The objective of this research is to find the relationship between earthquake active areas and thermal properties of earth surface. Landsat ETM+ images and earthquake points from USGS have been used as the material of the study.
