Abstract:The Center for Applied Isotope Studies has developed a rapid survey system that enables continuous collection, analysis, and near real time mapping of surficial bottom sediments in aquatic environments while the survey vessel is underway. The system is used to measure and map radiometric parameters of surficial sediments by continuous in sifu detection of gamma activities, and to determine and map elemental concentrations of sediments using non-destructive x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of sediment wafers p… Show more
