Following traditions of previous ENVIRA conferences, the ENVIRA2017 will consist of invited talks on relevant environmental radioactivity and radioanalytical topics, given by prominent representatives of the field, as well as by oral and poster contributions on various environmental radioactivity aspects. The conference will highlight the new scientific knowledge on the application of natural and anthropogenic radionuclides and isotopes in tracer studies in the terrestrial (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, pedosphere, etc.) and marine (seawater, marine biota, sediments, etc.) environments. The latest technological innovations in low-level radioactivity detection techniques including radiometric and low-energy and high-energy mass spectrometry methods, in situ measuring techniques, continuous monitoring systems, and other recent analytical developments will be included in the conference program as well. Radioecological topics, protection of the total environment against radiation including Chernobyl and Fukushima impacts on the environment, waste management and remediation actions on contaminated territories will be also covered.
Call for abstracts
Contributions on all these aspects of environmental radioactivity research are welcome via submissions of abstracts. The deadline for abstract submission has been fixed for January 31, 2017
