Radioactivity and the Environment

Head to the RSO website to read what it's like to be an @rwm_gdf_uk PhD student from Adam Fisher, who recently finished his PhD at @ISL_Sheffield: bit.ly/3nYPqJa Don't forget our PhD bursary call closes 16th Dec! bit.ly/3m7rRgw

NEW @NERCscience @UK_CEH @SalfordScience @RATEsct tree.ceh.ac.uk paper essd.copernicus.org/articles/12/30… Element and radionuclide concentrations in soils and wildlife from forests in north-eastern England Full dataset from: doi.org/10.5285/8f85c1…

The NDA has announced that Professor Francis Livens - one of the UK’s leading nuclear experts - will join its board from 1 Dec. gov.uk/government/new… @DaltonNuclear @OfficialUoM

Some of you will be pleased to hear that @SGashchak is back in Chernobyl .....still producing daily fruit plates and looking like he's taking things a bit easier than normal. For more on the bison see: youtu.be/uMsUn4iHS8M

Our first @rwm_gdf_uk PhD bursary call will open in one week. Sign up to our newsletter to make sure you get all the information straight to your inbox: research-support-office-gdf.ac.uk/connect/

It's been a challenging year but 25th anniversary edition of the RIFE report is now available online! It gives a detailed assessment of Radioactivity in Food and the Environment in the UK and the public's exposure to radiation during 2019. #radiation #radioactivity #environment

Chernobyl: #bumblebees still at risk from #radiation nearly 35 years on. Feat. #UofStirling's Dr Katherine Raines via @ConversationUK Read the full story 👇🐝theconversation.com/chernobyl-bumb… @NERCscience @anchorage40 @EnvAgency @rwm_gdf_uk @SRP_UK

April 2020 the Chernobyl EZ had the most extensive wildfires in its history. @NERCscience CHAR ceh.ac.uk/news-and-media… is investigating the impact. Wildlife trap cameras deployed for medium/large mammal studies: 1st photo downloaded @UK_CEH @SalfordScience @portsmouthuni

For those with an interest in how microbes impact on the safe disposal of nuclear waste, this is now out. Big thanks to co-editor Andrea Cherkouk, a team of excellent chapter authors and Elsevier. elsevier.com/books/the-micr…

Here is ERAN Database managed by CRiED. Environmental radioactivity data from Fukushima will be cross-searchable to anyone, any researchers in the world. That's what makes it worthwhile. ied.tsukuba.ac.jp/database/
