This 284-page-long volume, including 20 color plates and an index, is a collection of invited papers that originated from a short course on infrared spectroscopy for geoscientists organized by the Mineralogical Association of Canada. As outlined in the preface of the volume, the main objective of the short course was to update geoscientists on advances in infrared technology being developed in the laboratory through to satellite-based systems, with particular emphasis on measurement and mapping of mineral composition for more effective ore deposit exploration, as well as for environmental monitoring and assessment of natural and anthropogenic processes. Such a volume would, in theory, be of interest to readers of Economic Geology, particularly those interested in understanding how a new generation of proximal and remote spectral-sensing technologies can be used to measure and target prospective economic mineralization. The book essentially aims to . . . [Full Text of this Article]
