AGP-GAMMA – gamma-ray spectrometry platform
Aerogamma spectrometry (AGS) studies the area-averaged content of radioactive elements in the near-surface layer of rocks and soils—primarily uranium (radium), thorium, and potassium. The interpretation of AGS data is based on the patterns of distribution of radioactive elements in rocks and ore fields
The main issues to be solved:
Determination of the elements of the geological structure of the studied area
Search for deposits of radioactive raw materials
Study of the nature and intensity of the manifestation of superimposed processes (metasomatosis) and the search for deposits of the hydrothermal type
Remote environmental monitoring
Study of oil and gas prospective territories
