Mapping Sediment Contamination with a Gamma-Ray Spectrometer, Underwater and on Land.
Eage near surface 2019.pdf
This paper proposes a method that provide rapid, spatially detailed data on contaminant distributions and concentrations in sediments by using a gamma-ray spectrometer. A gamma-ray spectrometer can be used for mapping aquatic sediments (by using a vessel as platform) and non-aquatic sediments as floodplains by using a quad-bike or drone as platform for the sensors.2019

An Underwater Gamma Spectrometer as Tool for Ecological Assessment.
2016 An Underwater Gamma Spectrometer as Tool for Ecological Assessment.pdf
Increasingly stringent ecological regulations asks for environmental impact asessments of fine sediment discharge from dredging. This paper outlines a novel approach utilizing an underwater gamma spectrometer to quantitatively map fine sediment concentrations, thereby enabling the monitoring of the seafloor's natural buffering capacity and the quantification of dynamic processes like re-suspension and large-scale sediment transport.2016
Zinc slags in roads.

ME Whitepaper_ Zinc slag in roads.pdf
Paper describes a radiometry-based method to map zinc slags that are used in roads in a large area in The Netherlands and in Belgium. The slags leach heavy metals and therefore needed to be found back and
remediated
