Regional Training Course on the Advanced Application of Fallout Radionuclides for Soil and Water Quality Investigations

Australia/Sydney
Description

 

The purpose of this regional training course is to provide advanced practical training on the use of (i) fallout radionuclides techniques to identify and apportion soil resources for land use (ii) fallout radionuclide techniques to monitor the source, transport and fate of soil and sediment in agricultural catchments and agro-ecosystems.
