The use of stable isotopes in invesIgaIons of hydrological processes and climate change.

The Department of environmental sciences (O2) has achieved excellent results in EU interlaboratory comparison of the determination of As and Hg in EURL-HM-21 kaolinitic clay using k0- INAA and CV-AAS.

Together with our colleagues from NIB (Department of Organisms and Ecosystems Research) we spent a day outdoors with primary school children from Spodnja Šiška Elementary to learn about the water ecosystem and to practice scientific skills in our outdoor laboratory.

Please be informed that the first ISO-FOOD Summer School Radionuclides in food will take place from 6th to 10th June 2016, at the Reactor site (more info at http://isofood.eu/activities/summer-schools/). Attached please find the preliminary programme.

Two groups of young researchers from OŠ Spodnja Šiška, who conducted research at their school under external mentorship from Department of Environmental Sciences within the CITI-SENSE project, were awarded with a trip to Verona and Gardaland by participation into "Zaupajmo v lastno ustvarjalnost" - competition amongst primary and secondary schools in Ljubljana.
