The Campaign
The Geological Earth Mapping Experiment (GEMx) is a collaborative effort between NASA and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The purpose of GEMx is to map critical minerals using airborne hyperspectral imagery and examine their effects on climate. To date, GEMx has conducted three deployments over the southwestern United States during the boreal spring, summer, and fall of 2023-2024. Hyperspectral imagery was gathered using remote sensors such as the MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator (MASTER), Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS), and Hyperspectral Thermal Emission Spectrometer (HyTES). GEMx is funded through the USGS Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) and aims to support the development of NASA’s Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) mission.
