endant fires in these townships following the earthquakes and the primary goal of the survey was to identify and map natural gas leaks and other potentially hazardous emissions from industrial and commercial facilities resulting from infrastructure damage due to the severe shaking caused by the tremors. However, the imagery acquired during this process also contains information relating to the geology of the area that can be accessed utilizing false-color scene imagery generated by keying on diagnostic TIR spectral signatures presented by the local geology. This form of presentation delineates changes in surface lithology that in turn can be used to visualize rupture tracks and assess the magnitude of slip along active faults.
