Medusa Radiometrics - Soil mapping and soil sampling

This is a short explanation about the basic working principles of Medusa Radiometrics gamma-ray sensors for soil mapping, and the need for (fewer) soil samples to get valuable soil parameter maps (e.g. clay content, pollution levels). Transcript: Understanding the composition of the soil is crucial for various applications. Mapping the distribution of soil types is an important step in effective land management. Traditionally, this is studied by taking a large number of samples at random locations. Soil types, however, don't distribute randomly; they follow intricate patterns. The Medusa Gamma-ray Spectrometer is a passive sensor, which can continually measure the soil's low level of natural radiation. Different soils emit different types of radiation. We're able to distinguish these radiological fingerprints with the sensor. To verify the site-specific relation between soil types and their components, we still perform in-situ sampling, but far fewer samples are needed than in a traditional project. As a result, highly detailed soil maps can be produced. The final result is a precise map of soil composition. These high-resolution soil maps are useful in exploration, agriculture, construction and enviromental monitoring. Thus, you can focus on the important areas and avoid unnecessary work elsewhere. --- Medusa Radiometrics gamma-ray spectrometers are being used around the world for: mineral exploration, agricultural soil mapping, construction soil mapping and enviromental monitoring of the topsoil.
