The first being a very few submitted tracks of handheld click counters with limited accuracy and no reporting of the peaks across the breadth of gamma spectrum; the second being a decades long high resolution 256 channel 40 litre crystal pack calibrated, normalised, geophysical survey of the entire continent.

The changing scales and meaning while zooming in and out makes it hard to derive conclusion from these measurements.
Sometimes it looks like somebody just used a more sensitive or uncalibrated device or is carrying a nuclear warhead around during an entire route of measuring.

> Radiaverse turns those tracks into one shared map, with the places worth knowing about described by the people who found them.
This Claude sentence would be greatly improved by deleting everything after the comma. That clause adds nothing informationally and in some sense is using a very weird definition of describe and found.

I'm waiting for the one by others, but thanks.

Just more NAG SCREENS !

Many interesting high radiation places are missing in the map, Ramsar - Iran, beaches in south Kerala - India.
I recall there were studies about the dissemination of radiative remnants from nuclear disasters traveling across oceans to the globe. It'd be nice to have some kind of historical view on the map to monitor the process over past periods and future.

this makes no sense, but at least it's provocative and it gets the people going

This is cool.
What are the other cool maps exists like this?

If anyone want to fund a homeless guy buying one of these devices to use while he drive around the United States I could sure add a lot of contribution to the science. Let me know. I would love to help with this and be somehow useful in a society that finds me useless.

I love me an honest map, it's absolutely load bearing for me.

The detectors they use seem to measure only gamma. Not alpha or beta or neutrons. Which is not surprising since cheap handheld detectors usually only measure gamma.
This map is entertaining but it's not terribly useful scientifically.

Any more affordable alternatives to the radiacode scintillator devices?

This is quite interesting.

Curious as to why Germany seems to be the only large country with almost full coverage.
If all the data is crowdsourced it’s probably the German Atom-Angst
That's not a radiation map of Australia ( https://radiaverse.com/country/au#2.82/-27.05/133.28 )
This is a radiation map of Australia: https://www.ga.gov.au/bigobj/GA13928.pdf ( gridded data available for d/load )

Only 403 contribute in the USA. Is that enough to be of value now?
watch out for this hotspot in nyc!

who knew we kept such things just lying around :)
