Great success of the two PhD webinars organised by ALLIANCE
The European Radioecology ALLIANCE, has organised two PhD webinars (7 and 14 of June 2021) to give the students the opportunity to present their research work. ALLIANCE would like to thank all the PhD students who made presentations at the webinars – there were a series of excellent presentations on a broad range of radioecological topics. They made it difficult to decide on the ALLIANCE prizes to the best talks, but our congratulations go to the winners:
1st year student:
- 1st prize: Margot Vanheukelom (SCK-CEN). The role of clay mineralogy on 137Cs bioavailability: clay-sand pot experimental approach.
- 2nd prize: Antonio Newman Portela (HZDR/University of Granada), Microbially induced reduction of uranium in mine water.
Year 2 plus student:
- 1st prize: Clément Car (IRSN). How population genetics can inform us about the evolution of tree frogs in the Chernobyl region?
- 2nd prize: Darcy van Eerten (Univ. Hannover). Non-destructive mass spectrometry of single hot particles from the Chernobyl exclusion zone by laser SNMS’
Thank you also to everyone who attended the webinars and helped to make them a success. There was an average of 60 participants in the webinars. The videos are now available if you would like to re-visit the talks or if you missed them on the day.
