New CRP: Improving Understanding of Nitrate Sources in Connected River and Groundwater Systems Through Linking Nitrate Isotopes and Contaminants of Emerging Concern (F32010)

In Sri Lanka, women play a critical role in driving rural communities' economic development and ensuring food security. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Sri Lanka is largely self-sufficient in animal products except in dairy, where national consumption has steadily grown since the 1970s, outpacing supply. Boosting dairy production in the country will help empower women in rural areas and improve the country’s self-reliance.

Celebrating 60 Years of IAEA Environment Laboratories: Ceremony at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco

The IAEA Environment Laboratories in Monaco comprise three separate marine laboratories that are unique within the United Nations system. They use nuclear and isotopic techniques to understand and propose mitigation strategies and tools for the environmental impacts of radionuclides, trace elements and organic contaminants as well as climate related ocean changes and emergency response.

Isotope Records Reveal the Complexity of Changing Climate Dynamics

Organized jointly with UNESCO, and the co-operation of FAO, an IAEA Scientific Conference on the Disposal of Radioactive Waste at Sea convened Member States and experts at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco in November 1959. This was the first time this important topic was discussed and would ultimately lead to the foundation of its first International Laboratory of Marine Radioactivity in 1961. The opening of the IAEA's marine laboratories in Monaco that same year marked the start of a new era for marine environmental research.
