Remote sensing insights into subsurface-surface relationships

sensing techniques in elucidating subsurface-surface relationships at
copper deposits. Understanding these connections is key to
accurately finding and describing copper deposits, helping to make
mineral exploration and extraction more efficient and sustainable.
The purpose of this study is to provide a complete review of the use
of remote sensing to characterise geological and topographical
features in copper-rich areas by synthesising current research and
technical advances. It explores key contributions from recent
literature and case studies, shedding light on the intricate
interconnections between subsurface geology and surface features.
While remote sensing offers significant benefits, such as higher
accuracy and broader coverage compared to traditional methods, it
also faces limitations, including resolution constraints, the need for
ground-truthing, and poor penetration in vegetated areas,
necessitating complementary techniques. Through critical analysis,
the article aims to offer valuable insights to researchers, geologists,
and industry professionals engaged in mineral exploration and
resource management. Ultimately, this review strives to serve as a
vital resource, fostering informed decision-making and promoting
sustainable practices within the dynamic realm of copper deposit
exploration and exploitation.
