Gamma ray spectrometry of rocks from a volcanic sequence penetrated by the SG-1 borehole and the radiogenic contribution to the total heat flowCh. S. Aliev, T. A. Zolotovitskaya, and T. A. Ismailzade Institute of Geology, National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan,, AzerbaijanAbstract
[1] Results derived from gamma-ray spectrometry studies of volcanic rocks
in a depth interval of 3540-8150 m are presented. The rocks are shown to have low
concentrations of radioactive elements, which is consistent with the clarke of basic
igneous rocks close to calc-alkalic series of present island-arc systems. Potassium is present
in all rocks of the volcanic sequence, whereas uranium and thorium are absent in
some of its beds. Maximum U and Th concentrations are 4 Received 11 June 2002; published 25 June 2002. Keywords: Gamma ray, spectrometry of rocks, total heat flow. ![]() Citation: Aliev, Ch. S., T.
