Last night we released a major study mapping radioactive fallout from U.S. Nuclear Weapon Tests, beginning with the July 16, 1945 Trinity Test. Amazing collab between @PrincetonSPIA SGS and @shift7, in partnership with @CIRESnews and @EarthGenome. https://t.co/U54G9CTzS4

“Using state-of-the-art modeling software and recently uncovered historical weather data, the study’s authors say that radioactive fallout from the Trinity test reached 46 states, Canada and Mexico within 10 days of detonation.”

☢️ Why do fallout radionuclides accumulate on glaciers? Should we be concerned? What might the impacts be for ecosystems? Find out more in this short video by @PhysicsWorld where Phil Owens and I discuss our recent research! ❄️ @GeogDurham @UNBC_GEES https://t.co/HOmNyhLE1b

Today is the anniversary of the July 2, 1966 Aldebaran nuclear test ☢️ It was the first French test in the Pacific and led to significant fallout on the Gambier archipelago. Our award-winning 2021 investigation reconstructed what happened on that day. A 🧵https://t.co/5Xkkyc824V

🚨 Our new paper on the global variability of fallout radionuclides (FRNs) in cryoconite on glaciers is just out! This one has been a long time in the making, but it was a real pleasure to work with a large group of excellent international collaborators.

The magnitude of the hydrological disruption caused by the destruction of the #KakhovkaDam is mind-blowing. 2000 square kilometers (800 sq miles) restored to pre-1956 condition in two weeks. @CopernicusLand

#FunFindFriday: In 1942 the U.S. government acquired more than 60,000 acres in Eastern Tennessee for the #ManhattanProject resulting in a #SecretCity named #OakRidge. One man, Ed Westcott, was authorized to photograph the facility. @MnhtnProjectNPS @y12nsc

Did you know ⁉️

In July 1974, the Threshold Test Ban Treaty was signed between the US and the USSR ✍🏼 It prohibited underground nuclear weapon tests of more than 150 kilotons and obliged parties to continue negotiations toward a Comprehensive Test Ban 📜

1/ Pour demain et mardi, une partie des centrales nucléaires vont connaître des températures records.
Cela n’entraînera pas nécessairement de problèmes directs de sûreté même si c'est, bien entendu, suivi de très près.
Néanmoins, ces records vont être mobilisés...

Le 16 juillet 1945, il y a 77 ans jour pour jour se déroule #Trinity, le 1er essai #nucléaire de l’histoire dans le désert du Nouveau-Mexique (USA). L’engin est une bombe au plutonium dénommée Gadget d’une puissance de 21 kt dont voici des images.

Remediation efforts following the Fukushima Daiichi disaster increased soil erosion and downstream sediment with reduced Cs concentration but were restored quickly by rapid vegetation regeneration https://t.co/ogryLRiNDS
