Google Maps and Google Earth are very common platforms today to explore maps and satellite images of the earth. But there are many other ways to explore the earth. Some are listed here. 1. Earth Explorer This map is developed by USGS helpful to obtain earth imagery across available geo-spatial data types. Users can navigate via interactive map or text search to obtain Landsat satellite imagery, Radar data, UAS data, digital line graphs, digital elevation model data, aerial photos, Sentinel satellite data, some commercial satellite imagery including IKONOS and OrbView3, land cover data, digital map data from the National Map, and many other datasets. Users can search by exact location via the interactive map or input specific coordinates to view what data types are available. 2. Sentinel Hub This platform developed by Sinergise has Sentinel, Landsat, and other Earth observation imagery easily accessible for browsing, visualization and analysi...
Exploration for dolomite was not much emphasized in the past due to either absence of dolomite base industries or its small likely requirement in the industries. ln many cases the carbonate rocks when searched as the cement grade limestone as raw material for cement industry, the associating dolomite were discarded as undesirable ingredient. Hence their documentation has not been properly made and real situation of the dolomite still remain obscure except in one case like the identification of 4.2 million tons of good quality dolomite in the Udaypur Limestone deposit.(Mineral Resources of Nepal,2023) For many limestone resources examined in the past, assessment in terms of identifying industrial dolomite is either lacking or with sketchy data. Recently the Department of Mines and Geology for the industrial dolomite in Dhading, Arghakhachi and Baitadi regions to fulfill the emerging demands in the paint, soap and detergent industries. To date good quality dolomites are observed ...
