Michigan Tech campus view acquired with the MTU engineered Visible Fourier Transform Hyperspectral Imager.  This instrumet records hundreds of narrow spectral bands in the visible-near infrared part of the spectrum. This false color composite displays trees as red, indicating their high reflectance in the near infrared. The instrument was mounted on a tripod at the Qunicy Hill overlook on US 41, Hancock, MI.

Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) false color composite of the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Bands 432 Red Green Blue. In the upper half of the image, the left-right (strike-parallel) lineations are the ridge-valley structure formed by north-dipping (toward top of image) lava flows and conglomerate beds. The lower portion of the image (below the largest inland lake) shows the subdued topography created by the Jacobsville sandstone terrain. Light blue along the Point Isabelle coast indicates shoals in shallow water. The light green and red colors on land probably indicate mixed upland hardwoods and conifers, respectively. A number of red lineations trending roughly north-south are probably cross-strike fracture zones associated with deformation of the lava and conglomerate strata. (Image processing by Dave Schneider.)
