Our group studies the natural environment with optical and thermal infrared spectroscopy, hyperspectral remote sensing and geophysics, to build up increased understanding of earth processes in space and time. We use our expertise in geological remote sensing to help solving earth science problems and to support demands from industry.
Software and data products
hyppy
Hyperspectral Python (HypPy) is a collection of tools for spectral analysis with Python. Most people will use this package in conjunction with software like IDL ENVI. The software is platform independent. More information and download
Dispec
DISPEC is a tool for absorption feature analysis of single spectra from a spectral library. The tool is written in IDL and reads ENVI format spectral libraries. The software is platform independent. Download
