In recent years, airborne gamma-ray spectrometry (AGS) has become a recognised tool for soil and regolith mapping (Wilford, 1992, Cook et al., in press). However, there are still a lack of definitive studies that scientifically assess the information content of gamma-ray derived data. The question is: how do the gamma-radiometric patterns relate to soil properties and how can this data be used to assist with or improve soil mapping? This is the subject of a new AGSO record (Bierwirth, 1996; see cover below)
