<descript>
<abstract>
Data generated by aerial sensing of radiation emanating from the
earth&apos;s surface in Alaska provides general estimates of the
geographic distribution of Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium in
surficial and bedrock units throughout this area.
</abstract>
<purpose>
The grids were re-projected and geotiff images created for
distribution using internet map services.
