Stable lead isotopes, trace metals and radionuclides in sediments of the Alligator Rivers Region to assess impacts of uranium mining.

在环境分析化学家、地球化学家和环境物理学家组成的多学科团队的指导下，一名博士生将开发一种新的敏感方法，以监测卡卡杜国家公园及其附近过去、现在和未来铀矿开采活动的影响，尽管它也可能应用于其他采矿活动。该方法将使用稳定的铅同位素、痕量金属和放射性核素技术的组合。研究结果将提高监督科学家办公室履行其评估和监督鳄鱼河区域地雷的核心职能的能力。

A PhD student under the supervision of a multidisciplinary team of environmental analytical chemists, geochemists and environmental physicists will develop a new sensitive methodology to monitor impacts of past, present and future uranium mining activities in and near Kakadu National Park, although it may be applied to other mining activities as well. The method will use a combination of stable lead isotopes, trace metals and radionuclide techniques. The outcomes of the research will increase the capacity of the Office of the Supervising Scientist to carry out its core function of assessing and supervising mines in the Alligator Rivers Region.
