Compositional variations revealed by ASTER image analysis of the Viedma Volcano, southern Andes Volcanic Zone

We conducted a lithological mapping of the Viedma volcano, one of five volcanoes in the Andean Austral Volcanic Zone (AVZ), using remote sensing techniques. We used data of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection radiometer (ASTER) sensor which is highly effective in geological resea...
