Radiometric data acquired by aircraft registered in counts per second of potassium, thorium and uranium channels were processed generating radiometric maps of the entire region. The generated maps provide important information regarding the superficial geology. At last, all the radiometric information gained is correlated with geological and topographical knowledge of the Itabora¨ª Region. %K Aerial Radiometry %K Potassium %K Uranium and Thorium %K Itabora¨ª Region %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/3104637
