• to introduce geologists to the types of geoscience data and enhancements available to them for assisting in their field mapping activities for both mapping and field logistics;
  

• to provide a sound theoretical review of how the various image types are to be interpreted and what type of geological information the images provide; and,
  

• to give the geologist some hands-on experience interpreting and integrating various types of geoscience data with the aim of producing a remote predictive map.
