ASTER Thermal Anomalies in Western Colorado

Published by Flint Geothermal, LLC | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2021-08-23T19:21:14Z
This layer contains the areas identified as areas of anomalous surface temperature from ASTER satellite imagery. The temperature is calculated using the Emissivity Normalization Algorithm that separate temperature from emissivity. Areas that had temperature greater than 2o, and areas with temperature equal to 1o to 2o, were considered ASTER modeled very warm and warm surface exposures (thermal anomalies), respectively Note: 'o' is used in place of lowercase sigma in this description.
