From a plane, this survey tests the amount of potassium, thorium and uranium contained in rocks and soils below. This allows us to map different types of rocks and soil based on the amount of each element. Knowing about the chemistry of soils and rock is of use to farmers and scientists, telling them how the soil is formed and also the location of peat. The findings can also be used by people looking for minerals (materials taken from the ground used for things we need from mobile phones to the stones used to build roads and houses). The data can also be used to help map radon gas.
