    Description:
      Abstract:
        Data generated by aerial sensing of radiation emanating from the
        earth's surface in Alaska provides general estimates of the
        geographic distribution of Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium in
        surficial and bedrock units throughout this area.
      Purpose:
        The grids were re-projected and geotiff images created for
        distribution using internet map services.
