5028 Block 3 (Northwest): Raw-Edited Radiometric Point-Located Data from 2024

415,090 line-kilometres of raw-edited radiometric data were acquired over Western Australia in 2024. The data includes 256-channel gamma-ray spectra, raw window counts, and GNSS heights, captured at 100m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance. This point-located data represents the rawest form of gamma-ray spectrometric measurements for potassium, uranium, and thorium decay.

Use Cases

• Geological mapping based on natural gamma-ray variations from potassium, uranium, and thorium.
• Mineral exploration targeting based on radiometric anomaly detection.
• Environmental baseline studies based on natural radiation measurements.
• Calibrating processed radiometric datasets based on raw 256-channel spectra and raw window counts.

Strengths

• Covers 415,090 line-kilometres of survey data, indicating a large spatial footprint.
• Includes raw 256-channel gamma-ray spectra and raw altimeter/GNSS heights, providing foundational data for processing.
• Acquired with specific flight parameters: 100m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance, suggesting consistent collection methodology.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific analytical tasks.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific survey block in Western Australia.
