Titles

Dose rCs have a temperature dependency? – Theory and field observation – (Igarashi)
Riverine 137Cs dynamics under high-flow conditions: progress and future direction (Wakiyama)

Institute of Environmental Radioactivity (IER) regularly holds the IER seminar in which the faculty members report on their research results, with the purpose of facilitating their research activities and communication.

The first IER Seminar in this fiscal year was held on June 21, with two researchers specialized in the field of hydrology gave presentations as speakers. 21 researchers and graduate students attended the seminar, including online attendees.

Project Assistant Professor Yasunori Igarashi talked about his research progress on the temperature dependency of the radiocesium dynamics in the river system, based on the perspectives of both theory and long-term field observation in the Abukuma River. Associate Professor Yoshifumi Wakiyama also shared his research progress and future direction in the study of riverine 137Cs dynamics under high-flow conditions. Researchers exchanged their views in the following Q & A session and encouraging comments were given on the both studies.
