چکیده    Acid sulfate soils in western australia commonly occur in coastal regions. one of the greatestthreats to coastal environment is the disturbance of acid sulfate soils due to urban development which canlead to widespread acidification of lands and streams and subsequent economic losses onsite or in adjacentareas. surface sampling from different landforms of the study area and analytical results of xrd, sem andvnir indicate that morphological and surfacial minerals variations, due to oxidative sulfide weatheringprocesses in affected landscape. in dry season, the surface mineralogy of salt affected zone is dominated byhalite , gypsum, barite and importantly, iron oxyhydroxides crusts (ferrihydrite, schwertmannite). theoxidative weathering of the jarosite with rapid oxidation of fe2+, can generate iron oxyhydroxides and acid.the visible near infra-red (vnir) reflectance spectra of the surface minerals from salt affected zone and acidsulfate soils horizon, showed spectral differences expressed in the vnir region due to absorption bands ofiron oxides and hydroxides. the spectral difference can be utilized for regional scale mapping of coastal acidsulfate soils disturbance due to urbanization in pinjarra area via hyperspectral and multispectral remotesensing.
