Project Description
This project aims to demonstrate the capability of a new type of field portable remote sensing instrument (the MicroFTS), developed by the applicants as part of a NERC funded project, integrated with a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), and ultrahigh resolution digital photography to significantly increase the volume and coverage, and the level of detail, of structural and compositional information required by sedimentary petrologists and basin analysts, at sample-borehole-site and basin scales, at very low cost. The project is divided into two phases. Phase 1 (Outcrop MicroFTS)- will involve the development of the methodology on outcrops followed by Phase 2 (Core MicroFTS) which will apply the same data acquisition methodology but adapted to collect data along borehole cores.
