Applications

Gamma-ray soil sampling in agricultural field

Soil & sediment mapping

Soil composition is crucial for professionals like soil scientists, agronomists, environmental scientists, and farmers. Conventional methods provide limited insights into soil heterogeneity. Our advanced sensors enable digital mapping of soil texture, revealing genuine field diversity for informed decision-making in agriculture, land management, and environmental conservation.

Contamination mapping

Contamination of soil and sediments by heavy metals and organic compounds poses significant environmental and economic concerns, particularly in floodplains and waterbodies. Gamma-ray sensors have become an effective means of accurately mapping the distribution of soil and sediment contamination, offering dependable and comprehensive data on spatial variations which are used to manage and dispose of contaminated sites.

Mineral exploration and remediation

Gamma-ray sensors traditionally used in small aircraft for geophysics can now be deployed under drones. They provide valuable insights into the composition and structure of the Earth's subsurface, enabling geologists to detect, map, and remediate various elements and minerals. This capability greatly facilitates mineral exploration and contaminated site remediation efforts.
