Abstract
A growing concern about the future supply of raw materials has enhanced the importance of marine mineral deposits and the subsequent need for in-situ analytical methods of exploration. Nuclear techniques based on γ-ray spectrometry offer potential for continuous surveying and in the present paper various aspects of the design and performance of both natural and neutron-induced towed γ-ray spectrometers are discussed in detail. The interpretation of elemental abundances from the measured data is of particular importance and has been investigated using laboratory experimental and computer techniques.
