Description
UAV-based Aeroradiometric Mapping to Understand Geologic Controls on
Intraformational Radon Variability: Towards an Improved Rational Basis for Indoor
Radon Potential Microzonation
Abstract
The Kentucky Geological Survey is seeking funds to support acquisition of a UAV-mountable
gamma spectrometer and to perform a limited pilot study demonstrating utility for microzonation
of radon-related soil radionuclides for future radon mitigation and education. In combination
with UAV-mounted LiDAR and ground-based in-situ soil-radon measurements, the spectrometer
data will be used to evaluate potential variation of soil radionuclides (and by proxy soil radon) in
the vicinity of mapped faults and observed karst sinkholes. The results of these local surveys will
be evaluated quantitatively for uncertainty and the results used to inform future radon potential
mapping in Kentucky and elsewhere.
