Abstract
Developments in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) have provided a practical and economical uses to a variety of disciplines. This paper focuses on the application of this technology to a geologic region using polygon analysis techniques. This application evaluates the feasibility of such methods as compared to conventional geologic field techniques. The Llano Uplift region of central Texas is well defined morphologically and geologically which provides good ground control for aerial photography. A GIS/RS-based analysis scheme is used to extract geologic information from morphological features resulting from surface and subsurface shaping agents. GIS polygon establishment and layer development are defined for geomorphologic and spectral features which serve as a basis for geologic interpretation.
