Detection techniques using multispectral data to index soil erosional statusIndexing techniques that can be used to detect soil erosion utilizing the known band widths of the Landsat MSS and TM sensors are identified. The indexing techniques focus on iron oxides, clays, and organic matter as properties revealing soil erosional status. For data aquisition, a Collins visible and infrared intelligent spectrometer was used to collect data from 0.4-24 microns. Pressed polytetrafluorethylene was used as the reflectance standard and was aquired at the same time that the sample data were aquired.
