Radiogeology is the study of the distribution, behavior, and effects of natural and artificial radioactivity in the Earth's crust, rocks, soils, and other geological materials. It is an interdisciplinary field that combines geology, physics, and chemistry to understand the geological processes and structures that are responsible for the natural occurrence of radioactivity in the Earth's crust. Radiogeology is important for many applications, including mineral exploration, environmental monitoring, nuclear waste management, and the study of the effects of radiation on living organisms. Radiogeologists use various techniques such as gamma-ray spectrometry, radon gas measurements, and isotopic dating to study the distribution and behavior of radioactive materials in the Earth's crust.
