Abstract

The morphosedimentary Quaternary units present in the Huércal-Overa Basin (Southeast Spain) are studied in terms of their spectral response through laboratory reflectance spectroscopy covering the 400 to 2500 nm wavelength interval. This technique applied to a set of samples composed of mineral mixtures, in order to determine is the relationships between spectral curves and relative chronology. The obtained results show qualitatively the relationship between the relative chronology of the units and, their spectral response, showing its importance as an additional criterion for the assignment of relative ages and for the proper interpretation of remote sensing images.
