Spectral Indexing of Chemical Weathering in the Mid-Infrared: New Means to Evaluate Weathering on Mars
Abstract
Features of mid-infrared spectra from a large suite of weathered basalt can be indexed to distinguish weathered and unweathered surfaces, suggesting that weathering can be studied on Mars without using spectral modeling methods.
