The project was aimed at developing spectral signatures related to heavy metal pollution of soils in the region of city of Kajaran. To reach the stated goal, the following tasks were designed and implemented.

  • - Developing approaches to integrate methods of terrestrial geochemical mapping and remote sensing in the region of city of Kajaran.
  • - Developing spectral signatures of summary HM pollution of soils.
  • - Improving the previously developed remote sensing method for indication of heavy metal pollution of soils.
