Application of optical and microwave remote sensing data to the tectonics and lithostratigraphy of metasedimentary rocks: the case of Douro Region (Northeastern Portugal)

The lithostratigraphy and the tectonics of Douro region, mainly composed by metasedimentary rocks of Neoproterozoic to Lower Cambrian age, has been studied with support of optical and microwave data collected by the Landsat 7 ETM+, Jers-1 and Envisat satellites. The lithologies already characterized from field data where recognized in the images which also show that they are organized under a normal sequence.
