Abstract :

The study area is located in 50 km south of Sabzevar, covering approximately 600 square kilometers. In this region Borate minerals can be observed. The high reflectance characteristics of Borate minerals make them ideal for detection with remote sensing methods where they occur as playa deposits or hot spring aprons produced by evaporation of geothermal fluids. The aim of this study is identifying of potential area of Borate precipitation using remote sensing study of ETM+7 image. After geometric correction, the false band combination appropriate, was found using the Optimum Index factor (OIF). Also with detection of main faults in the area, evaporate basin near faults, which maybe suitable for Borate precipitation, were identified. Finally promising area for future detail studying have been specified.
