Translates the three radioelements (K, eU, eTh) directly into color bands to visually isolate geological units.

The identification and classification of radiometric clusters are not just academic exercises. They have massive commercial and environmental implications for the future:

During the late stages of magma crystallization, elements like Potassium, Uranium, and Thorium do not easily fit into the crystal structures of common rock-forming minerals. As a result, they concentrate in the remaining liquid, yielding highly radioactive granitic rocks.

When planes or drones fly over a region equipped with gamma-ray spectrometers, they collect massive arrays of data points. Geologists then use statistical models to group these data points based on their radioactive signatures.

Understanding the natural background radiation of a landscape is crucial before building residential areas or developing agricultural land.
