“…Although I dispute Pirson's (1969) postulated cause of chimneys of radiation lows over HC deposits, I certainly do not dispute his observations that they sometimes exist. Such radiation lows (including surface radiation lows) have also been reported by Lundberg (1952Lundberg ( , 1956), Merritt (1952), Alparone (1963), Mac Elvain (1963, Tilloy and Monchaux (1965), Alekseyev and Gottikh (1966), Kilmar (1983), andCurray (1984). Armstrong and Heemstra (1973) provided a literature review of the subject.…”

“…Anomalies in the natural gamma ray background have long been exploited for geophysical purposes, most typically borehole logging for petroleum exploration [ Brannon and Osoba , 1956; Alexseyev and Gottikh , 1968; Fertl and Frost , 1982] and other uses including lithology determination, groundwater investigation, and fault delineation [ Schimschal , 1981; Keys , 1990; Ganerød et al , 2006]. These borehole techniques are highly developed, and are usually applied along with other geophysical methods [ Sharma , 1997].…”

Passive detection of gamma ray shadows from small‐scale soil surface anomalies

We exhibit theoretical and experimental evidence that some surface anomalies can be passively detected from their shadowing of low‐level gamma rays emitted from natural soil. Surface objects on the order of decimeter size with high electron density cause variable attenuation in several bands of gamma ray energies, while some surface holes cause other detectable changes in the gamma background. Using a broadly collimated portable 7.6 × 7.6 cm cylindrical NaI (Tl) scintillation detector, we characterize the small‐scale (on the order of meter scale or less) homogeneity of gamma rays at the soil surface in the context of detectability of objects and holes. We suggest that passive detection of anomalies below the surface may have impractically low count rates due to the greater collimation needed.
