Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 25 September 2020, shows part of the Neuquén Basin in Argentina. The Neuquén Basin is a sedimentary basin that covers most of the province of Neuquén. It is characterised by a spectacular series of rock structures originating from the formation process of nearby Andes mountain range. It is also an important oil and gas production basin and for palaeontologists, a great place to find fossils, particularly of dinosaurs. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, which is composed of two twin satellites, Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B, provides multispectral imagery with 13 different spectral bands at a maximum spatial resolution of 10m. These multispectral data allow High Resolution mapping of geological features.
