Exploring and Mapping Marine Placers in Vigo Estuary Shoreline Using GIS Cartog...
Ng Cutipa, L; Lobato, A; González, J; Georgalas, P; Zananiri, I; Cardoso Fernandes, J; Teodoro, CMarine placer deposits are accumulations of heavy minerals in coastal areas, both on beaches and in shallow water, usually consisting of ilmenite, rutile and zircon, and less commonly rare earth minerals (REEs) such as monazite and xenotime. This study investigates marine placer deposits in the Vigo Estuary (NW Spain), focusing on integrating diverse on and offshore cartographic data (geology, mineral resources...
Spectral Angle Mapper Application Using Sentinel-2 in Coastal Placer Deposits i...
Ng-Cutipa, WL; Lobato, A; González, FJ; Georgalas, GP; Zananiri, I; Carvalho, M; Cardoso-Fernandes, J; Somoza, L; Piña, R; Lunar, R; Teodoro, ACRemote sensing applications for marine placer deposit exploration remain limited due to the mineralogical complexity and dynamic coastal processes. This study presents the first medium- to high-level detailed multi-scale remote sensing analysis of placer deposits in the R & iacute;as Baixas, NW Spain, focusing on five beaches within the Vigo Estuary. Ten beach samples were analyzed for their heavy mineral (HM) ...
