GSNSW Exploration NSW Area J Cobar Nymagee thorium grid geodetic

The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

This radiometric thorium grid has a cell size of 0.00049 degrees (approximately 50m) and shows thorium element concentration of the GSNSW Exploration NSW Area J, Cobar-Nymagee merge, 1999 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1998 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 70181 line-kilometres of data at 250m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Statement

This GSNSW Exploration NSW Area J Cobar Nymagee thorium grid geodetic is an airborne-derived radiometric thorium grid for the GSNSW Exploration NSW Area J, Cobar-Nymagee merge, 1999. The survey was acquired under the project No. 1354 for the geological survey of NSW. The grid has a cell size of 0.00049 degrees (approximately 50m). A total of 70181 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing of 250m and 60m terrain clearance were acquired to produce this grid. This radiometric thorium grid shows thorium element concentration of the GSNSW Exploration NSW Area J, Cobar-Nymagee merge, 1999 in units of parts per million (or ppm). Noise-adjusted singular value decomposition (NASVD) has been applied to the data. NASVD is a spectral component analysis procedure for the removal of noise from gamma-ray spectra. Details of the specifications of individual airborne surveys can be found in the Fourteenth Edition of the Index of Airborne Geophysical Surveys (Percival, 2014). This Index is also available online at http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/79134.
