Firstly, the influence of both surface roughness regimes on the images was qualitatively evaluated through the use of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The backscatter variability was emphasized using PCA since the components are linear combinations of all input radar target contributions within the original scenes. Secondly, the research addressed the quantitative influence of the microtopography on RADARSAT-1 Ó0 values through the use of statistical parameters derived from surface roughness profiles of distinct rock alteration products. The investigation has shown that the use of PCA on RADARSAT-1 imagery with distinct look-direction and incidence angles is a suitable technique for highlighting backscattering variability from distinct targets within each scene expressed by tonal and textural patterns. These image patterns reflected a combination of effects related to large-scale surface slope (scarps, crests, positive and negative topographic breaks, etc.) and to ground cover (surface roughness of rock outcrops, residual soils and vegetation cover). The topographic enhancement provided by the RADARSAT-1 PC2, PC3 and PC4 showed to be excellent for structural mapping. In addition, varia-tion in look-azimuth was more important than incidence changes in the enhancement of subtle geomorphic features, often an expression of geological structures and underlying lithology. Finally, the quantitative evaluation of the dependence of Ó0 on micro-scale surface roughness confirmed that the SAR backscattering was not controlled in a predominant manner by the microtopographic variations of the geological surfaces.
