Bit of a late post but sharing our team's latest publication on Hg speciation and pollution assessment of small-scale gold mining-impacted sediments in Gumaus Bay, PH

Read and download the article free of charge until Sept. 25, 2026 : https://t.co/seFocsYxu5

Many thanks to Dr. Yamashita (JICC), JAEA, JPAC, NUMO, RWMC, and the IAEA for this enriching experience. #RadioactiveWasteManagement #GeologicDisposal

Inspired by my recent scientific visit to Japan on radioactive waste management. Learning about their comprehensive approach to pre-disposal and disposal, including the siting for various repository types, has been incredibly insightful.

[Rico Quierrez @RicoQuierrez]

We are all eager to apply what we have learned to our ongoing research project on strategies for radioactive waste management in the Philippines.

A study published in the journal Environmental Science: Processes and Impacts entitled titled "Environmental impact of an acid-forming alum shale waste rock legacy site in Norway” https://t.co/tEzuDsX5LQ by M. Pelkonen and colleagues.

Warner is slowly gaining back his cheerful self but an effective treatment plan remains out of reach as his tests remain inconclusive. His catheter has some blockage too preventing proper drainage and the water replenishes.

Any help for Warner is greatly appreciated!

@RicoQuierrez What are we doing?

We are carrying out large scale field experiments to leach copper from mine tailings (ground rock waste) - this will help recover copper from historical tailings, both reducing the need for new mining and remediating tailings at the same time. #tailings

First effluent produced while we were out at lunch!

Another big step for the joint Philippines— U.K. 🇵🇭 🇬🇧 PROMT project!!

(for the more senior among us - I can only think of the Billy Connolly sketch on asking for a pint of what the Pope drinks)
