NSW Geophysics Ternary radioelement potassium(K)-thorium(Th)-uranium(U)

This dataset is part of the Geological Survey NSW Geophysics dataset series.



Ternary radioelement potassium(K)-thorium(Th)-uranium(U) channel data. The image was generated by merging many individual airborne surveys and is a red-green-blue (RGB) composite using a histogram-equalised colour-stretch for each of the three channels. The red, green and blue channels represent K, Th and U respectively. Mixed compositions are indicated by the proportional blend of the corresponding additive primary colours (e.g. yellow indicates the presence of both K and Th, magenta the presence of K and U while aqua indicates the presence of Th and U). Black indicates low concentrations and white represents high concentrations for all three radioelements. The distribution of radioelements reflects the geochemistry and mineralogy of the near-surface, which may constitute either bedrock or regolith materials. The NSW statewide grid DVD set includes K values in percent(%), Th values in parts per million (ppm) and U values in parts per million (ppm).
