This Landsat Thematic Mapper image of Upper Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula displays vegetation as pink and green shades and water as dark blue. The highly reflective areas (white) include roadways, buildings, and exposed rock and sand. Michigan Tech researchers use such images to study geologic structure, seasonal changes in vegetation, and the Keweenaw current, which transports offshore suspended sediments clockwise around the Keweenaw Peninsula.
