Hello everyone. I am working on sustainable infrastructures and my goal is to select the most optimum site for infrastructures in my area of interest to gain maximum sustainability. To achieve my goal i need to know whether the area of interest is contaminated by heavy metals, but for some reasons my priority is to use remote sensing to know the fact. Unfortunately remote sensing is not my expertise, so this is why i asked this question. Actually i need a clear and simple answer if it is possible.
Thank you T. H. Al-Noor but i want to use remote sensing not proximal sensing.
Thanks for you question, is the Site of interest Land or Water based?
Hello Sina Allahyari,
If you want to use remote sensing data to determine of contaminated by heavy metals, then the quality of the vegetation cover can serve as an indirect sign of their presence. The satellite data of WorldView-3 has a high spatial resolution.
Exactly, it also appears to me that in a indirect way by having idea about the growth rate of plants along with other things in metal contaminated area and in uncontaminated area and making a comparison between them.
A comparative study could be made of the plant community in an uncontaminated ares and in contaminated ares with the same types of plants. Any change in spectral data might highlight some specific characteristics.
