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

在由环境分析化学家、地球化学家和环境物理学家组成的多学科小组的监督下，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、现在和将来的铀矿开采活动的影响，尽管它也可能适用于其他采矿活动。该方法将结合使用稳定的铅同位素、微量金属和放射性核素技术。这项研究的成果将提高监督科学家办公室的能力，以执行其评估和监督鳄鱼河地区地雷的核心职能。

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.
