Detecting the influence of gas seepage on vegetation using hyperspectral remote sensing

A high gas concentration in the soil - whether from natural hydrocarbon seepage or from leaking gas pipelines ‐ affects the vegetation reflectance. However, the exact mechanism that is responsible for the changes in reflectance is not known. Besides, it is not known exactly how the reflectance reacts on gas seepage. This paper presents the outline of a study on the influence of gas seepage on vegetation reflectance, in which both natural gas seepage and gas pipeline leakage will be studied.
