Title: APPLICATION OF COLOR AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY TO GEOLOGIC AND ENGINEERING SOIL MAPPING
Accession Number: 00229135
Record Type: Component
Abstract: COLOR AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE HELPFUL TO THE GEOLOGIST AND SOILS ENGINEERS IN MAPPING A PART OF THE ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN IN NEW JERSEY. COLOR DIFFERENCES CAN BE SEEN BETWEEN EXPOSURES CONSISTING ALMOST ENTIRELY OF LIGHT-GRAY TO YELLOW-BROWN QUARTZ SAND AND EXPOSURE CONSISTING LARGELY OF QUARTZ SAND, BUT CONTAINING 5 TO 15 PERCENT OF GREEN GLAUCONITE. COLOR DIFFERENCES ALSO ARE APPARENT AMONG FORMATIONS CONTAINING DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OR KINDS OF CLAY, AND BETWEEN WEATHERED PARTS OF THE SAME FORMATION OR SOIL. THE ABILITY TO DISTINGUISH ON COLOR AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS AMONG SOILS OF DIFFERENT COMPOSITION, TEXTURE, AND DEGREE OF WEATHERING IS A SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE TO THE SOILS ENGINEER. /AUTHOR/
