About this book

This book collates a series of contributions which reflect on on-going discussions and provide reviews of the most up-to-date scientific and technical information regarding continental and estuarine environments. It also identifies research themes for the future along with scientific and ethical issues.

Author / Editor information

Bréchignac François :

François Bréchignac, Deputy Head of the IPSN Division for Laboratory Radioecological Research and Studies at Cadarache, France, has particularly promoted controlled experimental approaches in radioecology with the aim of unravelling transfer processes and echnistic modelling developments. He is currently a corresponding member of the ICRP Task Group on Environmental Radioprotection.

Howard Brenda J. :

Brenda J. Howard is the leader of the radioecology section at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology at Merlewood Research Station, UK. She is a long-standing radioecologist having contributed to investigations in both continental and arctic environments with particular achievements in radionuclide transfer to animals.
