Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study with SIR-C/X-SAR and Landsat TM data for detecting volcanoes in the northeast of Aksayqin Lake, western Kunlun Mountain. The study shows that these two remote sensing techniques are complementary to each other, and the LHV image can be used best for identifying cinder cones and other features, while, Landsat TM data provide the compositional information of rocks which are not shown on SAR images
