Data fusion of three geophysical surveys at Whistling Elk Village, SD, achieved through RGB color compositing. In this image high resistivity is assigned blue, low conductivity is assigned green, and high magnetic measurments are assigned to red. With three simultaneously view data sets potentially greater interpretability is achieved.
