Abstract Preliminary analysis of SPOT-1 HRV multispectral imagery of the Waiotapu geothermal field illustrates the usefulness of high resolution (20 satellite sensing techniques to geothermal investigations. Differences vegetation type, vegetation at various stages of maturity, acid altered ground, sinter terraces, thermal pools and lakes and unpaved forestry roads are clearly distinguished. For the km x 1.3 region of study, two of the three HRV bands are strongly correlated, making the imagery statistically two-dimensional in nature.
