A review of remote sensing as applicable to resource xploration is presented based on the sixteen papers making up the special issue of this journal. Background material on the mea-surement techniques and their physical basis as applied to rocks, soils, and vegetation is covered. Special emphasis given to new developments in high spectral resolution remote sensing for mineralogic and vegetation mapping.
