Radiometric surveys measure the natural radiation emitted from the Earth's surface to identify distributions of certain rocks and soils. The survey quantifies levels of potassium, thorium, and uranium by detecting their unique gamma ray signatures. Airborne surveys from aircraft map large areas by averaging radiation readings over terrain, while ground surveys use detectors like Geiger counters and scintillometers placed near outcrops. Applications include mineral exploration, soil mapping, engineering studies, and environmental monitoring.
It covers seismic method, gravity method, electromagnetic method, magnetic method and radiometric method. all these methods help in mineral exploration

Introduction
Petrophysic of the rocks
It is the study of the physical and chemical properties of the rocks related to the pores and fluid distribution
Porosity, is ratio between volume of void to the total voids of the rock.
Permeability, is ability of a porous material to allow fluids to pass through it.
Electric, most of the sedimentary rocks don’t have conductivity.
Radiation, clay rocks have 40K, radiate alpha ray.
Hardness, it depends on the cementing material and thickness of the sediments.
WELL LOGGING
The systematic recording of rock properties and it’s fluid contents in wells being drilled or produced to obtain various petrophysical parameters and characteristics of down hole sequences (G.E Archie 1950).
The measurement versus depth or time, or both, of one or more physical properties in a well.
These methods are particularly good when surface outcrops are not available, but a direct sample of the rock is needed to be sure of the lithology.
A wide range of physical parameters can be measured.
In some cases, the measurements are not direct, it require interpretation by analogy or by correlating values between two or more logs run in the same hole.
Provide information on lithology, boundaries of formations and stratigraphic correlation.
Determine Porosity, Permeability, water, oil and gas saturation.
Reservoir modeling and Structural studies… etc.
Types of Well Logging

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. RADIATION :
The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic
particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization.
Radioactivity :
The act in which an atom releases radiation suddenly and spontaneously.
Radioactivity is caused when an atom wants to give away some of its energy.
Radio metrics :
Useful for the study of geomorphology and soils. Its also known as Gamma-
Ray Spectrometry.
3. RADIOMETRIC SURVEY
• Radiometrics is a measure of the natural radiation in the earth’s surface, which can
tell us about the distribution of certain soils and rocks. Geologists and geophysicists
routinely use it as a geological mapping tool to tell them where certain rock types
change.
• A radiometric survey measures the spatial distribution of three radioactive
elements (potassium-K, thorium- Th and uranium-U) in the top cm of the earth’s
crust. The abundances of K, Th and U are measured by detecting the gamma-rays
produced during the natural radioactive decay of these elements.
4. • The gamma-rays are packets of electromagnetic radiation characterised by their high
frequency and energy.
• They are quite penetrating, and can travel about 35 centimetres through rock and
several hundred metres through the air.
• Each gamma ray has a characteristic energy, and measurement of this energy allows
the specific potassium, uranium and thorium radiation to be diagnosed.
• There are 45 minerals that exhibit strong radioactivity, and a further 225 that are very
strong and to which exposure should be limited for health reasons.
5. AIR BORNE RADIOMETRIC SURVEY
• Airborne gamma-ray spectrometric surveys estimate the concentrations of
the radioelements at the Earth's surface by measuring the gamma radiation
above the ground from low-flying aircraft or helicopters.
• Not-that-remote-sensing gamma-ray spectrometry is typically flown at 80 m
to 120 m above the terrain
• A surface mapping technique, not penetrative, so we must understand the
surface
• Uses geophysical instrumentation, but is a geochemical application
7. • Potassium (K) is the major element, Uranium (U) is a mobile trace element and
Thorium (Th) is a relatively immobile trace element.
• No fixed field of view – hot point sources may lie outside nominal view
• Gamma ray flux decreases exponentially from source
• Single measurement, big area, = average of rock, overburden, water,
vegetation, etc.
8. GROUND RADIOMETRIC SURVEY
•Instruments for detecting radioactivity
There are two principal instruments,
1. Geiger counter
2. Scintillometer
1.Geiger-Müller counter is a simple and cheap
device that responds primarily to Beta radiation.
It must be held close to the outcrop to detect the Beta rays, and is
thus a tool of limited application, seldom used in modern
prospecting.
9. 2.Scintillometerworks by counting scintillations
produced in a detector by gamma radiation.
• A logical extension of the scintillometer is a spectrometer that
distinguishes characteristic gamma rays from 40K, U and Th.
• Therefore gamma radiation from different sources has different
energy levels.
• Typical natural gamma- ray spectrum recorded at ground level.
10.
11. APPLICATIONS
• Its used primarily as a geological mapping tool.
• Potassium alteration, which is often associated with hydrothermal ore
deposits, can be detected using the gamma-ray spectrometric method.
• It is also used for uranium and thorium exploration, heat flow studies and
environmental mapping and for extracting hydrocarbon.
• Mineral Exploration – Radiometric surveys have been used successfully to
map uranium deposits.
12. • Engineering applications – the use of surface radiometric measurements in
geotechnical and archaeological applications has been extremely limited.
• Soil mapping – Air-borne and ground radiometric surveys with high resolution
can be used to map soils up to a scale of 1:25,000 and even 1:10,000. This info
can be used by land managers in efficient land management.
• More detailed examination of the radiometric results can yield additional
information about the soil types such as soil texture, horizon changes and
homogeneity in the top 40 cm.
