Imaging spectroscopy is a new tool that can be used to map specific materials by detecting specific chemical bonds. As a result it is an excellent tool for environmental assessments, mineral mapping and exploration, vegetation communities/species and health studies, and general land management studies. The premier imaging spectrometer is the NASA/JPL AVIRIS system, covering a 10.5 km swath with 17-meter pixel spacing. AVIRIS collects data at a rate of 2 square kilometers per second!
