Spectral indices derived, non-parametric Decision Tree Classification approach to lithological mapping in the Lake Magadi area, Kenya

Here, we demonstrate the application of Decision Tree Classification (DTC) method for lithological mapping from multi-spectral satellite imagery. The area of investigation is the Lake Magadi in the East African Rift Valley in Kenya. The work involves the collection of rock and soil samples in the fi...
