Ecoacoustic Methods for Avifauna Analysis: A Case Study of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (2023)
Thesis
Whitehead, H. (2023). Ecoacoustic Methods for Avifauna Analysis: A Case Study of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. (Thesis). University of Salford

Birds are one of the most studied taxa in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ), with previous studies reporting negative impacts of radiation such as reductions in abundance and diversity and an increase in albinism and cataracts incidence. This thesis... Read More about Ecoacoustic Methods for Avifauna Analysis: A Case Study of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.

Inter-varietal variation in elemental uptake by rice and its implications for public health : a case study of Dareta village, Zamfara State, Nigeria (2021)
Thesis
Bakare, W. (2021). Inter-varietal variation in elemental uptake by rice and its implications for public health : a case study of Dareta village, Zamfara State, Nigeria. (Thesis). University of Salford

Nigeria is ranked first among the countries affected by Pb poisoning since it was reported in 2010 in Zamfara State. The Pb poisoning epidemic in Zamfara received global attention from various stakeholders and dietary Pb intake through rice which w...

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...

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...

Measuring terrestrial wildlife external radiation exposure under field conditions
Thesis
Aramrun, P. (in press). Measuring terrestrial wildlife external radiation exposure under field conditions. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis presents the results of a 3-year project to develop methods for measuring external radiation exposure of free-ranging terrestrial animals under field conditions. An evaluation of available passive dosimeter technologies was undertaken and... Read More about Measuring terrestrial wildlife external radiation exposure under field conditions.
