Abstract:In recent years, the environmental effects of both active and legacy mining activity have motivated many research groups worldwide through the use of a variety of methods that have been conducted among diverse environments. In this study, we measured radionuclide concentrations at two coastline locations of the Northern Aegean Sea: Stratoni and Ierissos. We deployed KATERINA II, an in situ gamma ray spectrometer. Our results indicate that the activity concentration for 238U progenies (214Bi), 232Th progenies (… Show more
To address the recent needs for extended spatial and temporal in situ ocean data, new research is being implemented worldwide to develop and apply cost-effective subsea in situ sensors suitable for large-scale production [...]
