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. This radiometric uranium grid has a cell size of 0.0004 degrees (approximately 41m) and shows uranium element concentration of the Seemore, WA, 2009 (Eucla Basin 1) in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2009 by the WA Government, and consisted of 105710 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance.

Lineage
This GSWA Seemore Eucla Basin 1 ppm Uranium Grid Geodetic is an airborne-derived radiometric uranium grid for the Seemore, WA, 2009 (Eucla Basin 1). The survey was acquired under the project No. 1208 for the geological survey of WA. The grid has a cell size of 0.0004 degrees (approximately 41m). A total of 105710 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing of 200m and 50m terrain clearance were acquired to produce this grid. This radiometric uranium grid shows uranium element concentration of the Seemore, WA, 2009 (Eucla Basin 1) 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. Reference: Percival, P.J., 2014. Index of airborne geophysical surveys (Fourteenth Edition).
