What ASTER data would be best to use for mineral research?

[LP DAAC - jwilson]

Some minerals have distinctive shortwave infrared spectral signatures while others have unique thermal infrared emissivity spectral signatures. Therefore, ASTER Level 2 data products (AST_05, AST_07, AST_07XT, AST_08, AST_09, and AST_09XT) are suitable for mineral research. However, it is highly recommended that users perform additional research on their own for their mineral of interest.

This is the first time I've seen a question about Aster satellite data. No more questions?
