Knowledge graph centered on SEM-EDS analysis with 42 nodes and 130 connections. Top connected: groundwater storage dynamics, evapotranspiration, metal concentrations, water table depths, groundwater.
Mica sheets are placed over thin sections, irradiated in a nuclear reactor, and examined under microscopy to identify areas of elevated uranium concentration through fission track density patterns. This method can detect uranium below SEM-EDS detection limits.
