Element and radionuclide concentrations in soils and wildlife from forests in north-eastern England with a focus on species representative of the ICRP's Reference Animals and Plants (2020)
Journal Article
Barnett, C., Beresford, N., Wood, M., Izquierdo, M., Walker, L., & Fawkes, R. (2020). Element and radionuclide concentrations in soils and wildlife from forests in north-eastern England with a focus on species representative of the ICRP's Reference Animals and Plants. Earth System Science Data, 12(4), 3021-3038. https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-12-3021-2020

There are international recommendations that the environment (i.e. wildlife) is assessed for the potential impact of releases of ionizing radiation. The transfer of radionuclides to wildlife from media (e.g. soil, water) is usually described using th...

Modelling the effects of ionising radiation on a vole population from the Chernobyl Red forest in an ecological context (2020)
Journal Article
Vives i Batlle, J., Sazykina, T., Kryshev, A., Wood, M., Smith, K., Copplestone, D., & Biermans, G. (2020). Modelling the effects of ionising radiation on a vole population from the Chernobyl Red forest in an ecological context. Ecological Modelling, 438, 109306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2020.109306

A novel mathematical model was developed to study the historical effects of ionising radiation from the 1986 Chernobyl accident on a vole population. The model uses an ecosystem approach combining radiation damages and repair, life history and ecolog...

Integration of ecosystem science into radioecology : a consensus perspective (2020)
Journal Article
Rhodes, O., Bréchignac, F., Bradshaw, C., Hinton, T., Mothersill, C., Arnone, J., …Zimmerman, J. (2020). Integration of ecosystem science into radioecology : a consensus perspective. Science of the Total Environment, 740, 140031. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.140031

In the Fall of 2016 a workshop was held which brought together over 50 scientists from the ecological and radiological fields to discuss feasibility and challenges of reintegrating ecosystem science into radioecology. There is a growing desire to inc... Read More about Integration of ecosystem science into radioecology : a consensus perspective.

SRP workshop on ‘communication of radiation risk in the modern world’ (2020)
Journal Article
Bryant, P., Yoshida, H., Butlin, M., Wood, M., Raines, K., Bannon, A., & Hunak, S. (2020). SRP workshop on ‘communication of radiation risk in the modern world’. Journal of Radiological Protection, 40(1), 319-326. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6498/ab4773

Communicating radiation risk is an important part of radiation protection. However, achieving effective risk communication is challenging given the negative public perception of radiation and conflicting views presented by both the media and social m...

Environmental transfer of radionuclides in a Sub-Saharan Africa setting (2020)
Thesis
Doroh, R. Environmental transfer of radionuclides in a Sub-Saharan Africa setting. (Thesis). University of Salford

In the last two decades, interest in the development of nuclear programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has increased. To ensure that the potential human and environmental ionising radiation exposure from nuclear developments within SSA can be adequat...
