Based on MOMS-02/D2 multispectral data, a section in the Central Craton in NW Australia has been mapped in detail. The basement is of Archaean to Early Proterozoic age and consists mainly of intensely deformed metamorphic complexes, volcanics and granites. The investigated scene covers an area of about 4.100 km2. It represents the transition between the stable Kimberley Block in the north-west (Speewah Group) and the Halls Creek Mobile Zone with its associated extended granitoid complexes. The new MOMS-02 type of data enables an excellent discrimination of rock units and a very detailed structural interpretation. The advantages are due to an improved decorrelaton of the newly designed bands and the relatively high spatial resolution (13.5m). Results of investigations concerning several test sites such as Bow River Granites, Mueller Brachysynclinal System and Greenvale Fault Zone indicate possibilities for subdividing already known strata into several sub-units. Detailed structural evaluations give additional hints to layering and genesis of the area.
