Journal Article
Wood, M., Beresford, N., Semenov, D., Yankovich, T., & Copplestone, D. Radionuclide transfer to reptiles. Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 49(4), 509-530. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00411-010-0321-1

Reptiles are an important, and often protected, component of many ecosystems but have rarely been fully considered within ecological risk assessments (ERA) due to a paucity of data on contaminant uptake and effects. This paper presents a meta-ana... Read More about Radionuclide transfer to reptiles.

Assessing doses to terrestrial wildlife at a radioactive waste disposal site: Inter-comparison of modelling approaches
Journal Article
Johansen, M., Barnett, C., Beresford, N., Brown, J., Černe, M., Howard, B., …Yu, C. Assessing doses to terrestrial wildlife at a radioactive waste disposal site: Inter-comparison of modelling approaches. Science of the Total Environment, 427-42, 238-246. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2012.04.031

Radiological doses to terrestrial wildlife were examined in this model inter-comparison study that emphasised factors causing variability in dose estimation. The study participants used varying modelling approaches and information sources to estimate...

An innovative portable detector for the live-monitoring of radionuclides in small terrestrial animals
Thesis
Fawkes, R. (in press). An innovative portable detector for the live-monitoring of radionuclides in small terrestrial animals. (Thesis). University of Salford

Radionuclide measurements in wildlife are required to demonstrate that the environment is not significantly impacted by radioactivity. Determination of internal radionuclide activity concentrations often requires destructive sampling. Development of...
