Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape
Episode 64: Elevating Energy Research: How Hyperspectral Imaging is Reshaping Mineral Exploration in Wyoming
Hyperspectral imaging—a technology that captures hundreds of wavelengths beyond what the human eye can see—is transforming how we understand the Earth’s surface. From satellites and drones to field and lab studies, this approach provides insights that traditional mapping and sampling can’t match. At the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources, researchers are beginning to apply hyperspectral imaging to Wyoming’s unique geology and energy resources, opening doors for smarter exploration, environmental monitoring, and resource management. In this episode of Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape, we talk with James Amato from SER and Dr. Friederike Körting, a hyperspectral imaging specialist from industry, about how the technology works, why it matters for Wyoming’s economy and environment, and what opportunities it creates for students, communities, and industry.
