Published purpose

This project aims to enhance understanding of Canada's surficial geology by developing an automated method using remote satellite imagery to map landforms like eskers and estimate their composition. By integrating machine learning and morphometric analysis, the project seeks to streamline natural resource projects, particularly those reliant on gravel from eskers, by providing precise remote estimates of aggregate deposits, benefiting infrastructure development initiatives.
