Drone-borne MS-1000 survey of peaty soils

Below we share some data obtained in 2021 using a drone-borne MS-1000 mapping a peaty area somewhere in the E.U. The zip file contains the raw detector output as well as the Gamman project file that was created with it. No further processing was done on the data.

Survey purposeSoil/peat mapping
Gamma-ray systemMS-1000
Survey platformDrone
Data providerÅrhus University:
https://agro.au.dk/en/
Dataset- 6 mDOS files containing survey data
- a Gamman GSF project file containing the synchronized data
- a CSV file containing the sync’d data
- a parser file that can be used to import the data into Gamman
Notes1. The positions of the datapoints have been changed for privacy reasons
2. The elevation used in the survey is unknown. The “height” column is GPS height which is not a good representation of the actual height above ground of the drone during survey.
