Abstract

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. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid. This GSNSW Exploration NSW Area Y Murray Riverina dose rate grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00098 degrees (approximately 100m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Murray - Riverina, NSW, 2003 (Area Y). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2003 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 160619 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Lineage

This GSNSW Exploration NSW Area Y Murray Riverina dose rate grid geodetic is an airborne-derived radiometric terrestrial dose rate grid for the Murray - Riverina, NSW, 2003 (Area Y) survey. The survey was acquired under the project No. 1027 for the geological survey of NSW. The grid has a cell size of 0.00098 degrees (approximately 100m). A total of 160619 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing of 400m were acquired to produce this grid. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. 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. Reference: Percival, P.J., 2014. Index of airborne geophysical surveys (Fourteenth Edition).
