Making the most of what we have: application of extrapolation approaches in radioecological wildlife transfer models (2015)
Journal Article
Beresford, N., Wood, M., Vives i Batlle, J., Yankovich, T., Bradshaw, C., & Willey, N. (2016). Making the most of what we have: application of extrapolation approaches in radioecological wildlife transfer models. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 151(Part 2), 373-386. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2015.03.022

We will never have data to populate all of the potential radioecological modelling parameters required for wildlife assessments. Therefore, we need robust extrapolation approaches which allow us to make best use of our available knowledge. This paper...

Factors in organisational environmental management system implementation – Developed vs. Developing country contexts (2014)
Journal Article
Kola-Lawal, C., Wood, M., Alo, B., & Clark, A. (2014). Factors in organisational environmental management system implementation – Developed vs. Developing country contexts. Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, 2(4), 408-421. https://doi.org/10.13044/j.sdewes.2014.02.0032

Country specificities and national cultures influence Environmental Management Systems (EMS) implementation and pro-environmental behaviour in organisations. Previous studies have focused on organisations in developed or emerging economies, creating...

A new simplified allometric approach for predicting the biological half-life of radionuclides in reptiles (2014)
Journal Article
Beresford, N., & Wood, M. (2014). A new simplified allometric approach for predicting the biological half-life of radionuclides in reptiles. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 138, 116-121. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2014.08.012

A major source of uncertainty in the estimation of radiation dose to wildlife is the prediction of internal radionuclide activity concentrations. Allometric (mass-dependent) relationships describing biological half-life (T1/2b) of radionuclides in or...

Spatial analysis of Carbon-14 dynamics in a wetland ecosystem (Duke Swamp, Chalk River Laboratories, Canada) (2014)
Journal Article
Yankovich, T., King-Sharp, K., Carr, J., Robertson, E., Killey, R., Beresford, N., & Wood, M. (2014). Spatial analysis of Carbon-14 dynamics in a wetland ecosystem (Duke Swamp, Chalk River Laboratories, Canada). Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 137, 173-180. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2014.07.007

A detailed survey was conducted to quantify the spatial distribution of 14C in Sphagnum moss and underlying soil collected in Duke Swamp. This wetland environment receives 14C via groundwater pathways from a historic radioactive Waste Management Area...

Demonstrating compliance with protection objectives for non-human biota within post-closure safety cases for radioactive waste repositories (2013)
Journal Article
Jackson, D., Smith, K., & Wood, M. (2013). Demonstrating compliance with protection objectives for non-human biota within post-closure safety cases for radioactive waste repositories. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 133, 60-68. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2013.07.005

Over recent years, a number of approaches have been developed that enable the calculation of dose rates to animals and plants following the release of radioactivity to the environment. These approaches can be used to assess the potential impacts of a...
