	Geological characterization of remote field sites using visible and infrared spectroscopy: Results from the 1999 ...
		Field spectra acquired during the MFE mission exhibited features interpreted at the time as indicative of carbonates (both dolomitic and calcitic), mafic rocks and associated weathering products, and silicic rocks with desert varnish-like coatings.
		Postmission laboratory petrologic and spectral analyses of returned samples confirmed that all rocks identified as carbonates using field measurements alone were calc-silicates and that chlorophyll associated with endolithic organisms was present in the one rock for which it was predicted.
		Rocks classified from field spectra as silicics and weathered mafics were recognized in the laboratory as metamorphosed monzonites and diorite schists.

	Note from Suzanne Petroni, Moffett Liason Office
		Allow me to begin by pointing out that NASA is not seeking to change the fact that Moffett Federal Airfield is a federal facility, open to Government and Government-sponsored entities only.
		Moffett's use has been, and will continue to be, for the benefit of the federal Government.
		The Sunnyvale fact sheet that you refer to discusses a maximum number of flights per year that could be permitted at Moffett, and it is indeed an error.

		In this effort I was responsible for ecological and remote sensing research, field logistics, and implementation of digital remote sensing technologies using both SAR and conventional satellite data (Landsat TM and AVHRR data).
		I have studied the role of plants (at the community, individual plant, and stomatal levels) and surface hydrology in the release of methane from the soil to the atmosphere.
