The 16th biennial conference of the South Pacific Environmental Radioactivity Association will take place from Monday 28 November to Wednesday 30 November and an optional workshop with advanced training in the ERICA assessment tool in collaboration with the RACI Radiochemistry division held on Thursday 01 December.
SPERA 2022 - Connecting People, developing solutions for a Changing Environment.
The program will cover all aspects of environmental radioactivity, ranging from advances in methods, new research in radioecology and emergency preparedness and in contaminated sites as well as applications of radiotracers in environmental processes. We scheduled many oral presentations in the various sessions and a large selection of posters that shall boost debate and discussion amongst attendees. This will be complemented by several exciting talks by invited speakers.
4 themes
- Instruments & Method Development
- Contaminated Sites impact assessment & Emergency preparedness
- Radioecology
- Radiotracers in environmental processes
Call for Abstracts is still open. Email: marg(a)conferenceteam.co.nz
The conference will again be complemented with a full day workshop in collaboration with the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI), RACI Radiochemisty division workshop.
The ERICA Assessment Tool is a software system that has a structure based upon the tiered ERICA Integrated Approach to assessing the radiological risk to terrestrial, freshwater and marine biota. A level of prior knowledge of the tool and the concepts underpinning it would be an advantage but not essential. For information and a free download of the tool follow please this link here.
The SPERA 2022 Organising Committee looks forward to seeing you in Christchurch.
