Books in the Radioactivity in the Environment series

Presents a summary of knowledge on the use of radionuclides to study processes and systems in the continental part of the Earth's environment. This book focuses on natural and anthopogenic radionuclides. It describes the basic principles underlying the various applications of natural and anthropogenic radionuclides in environmental studies.

Covers the aspects of marine radioactivity which have been the focus of scientific study. This title covers the suite of natural radioisotopes which have been present in the oceans since their formation and quantitatively dominate the inventory of radioactivity in the oceans.

Addresses the aspects of this socially important and complex interdisciplinary subject. This book presents a critical review of designing, siting, constructing and demonstrating the safety and environmental impact of deep repositories for radioactive wastes. It provides a detailed summary of radioactivity in terrestrial ecosystems.

Assembled from selected papers presented during the International Conference on Isotopes in Environmental Studies Aquatic Forum 2004, this book reviews the advancements in isotopic methods for better understanding of key processes in the aquatic environment, responsible for its future development and its protection.
