Title: Interpretation
of Side-Looking Radar Imagery: ABSTRACT
Author(s):
Article Type:
Abstract:
In late 1971, the entire country of Nicaragua was surveyed by side-looking radar for the production of a 47-sheet sequence of 1:100,000-scale mosaics. Interpretation
of the imagery of the central highlands and eastward toward the Atlantic Coast has contributed substantially to the elucidation of the geology of this previously little-known region. Although little that is new has been added to the
stratigraphic
column, the distribution of the main
stratigraphic
units has been clarified, and the principal
structural
elements established. The work in Nicaragua is an additional example of the quality of side-looking radar for rapid regional geologic
interpretation
and consequent guidance of ground programs.
