Nuclear fallout at Montebello: Sink or Swim?
Madison Williams-Hoffman
(PhD Candidate, Edith Cowan University)
Off the coast of Western Australia sits the Montebello Islands, where three nuclear weapons were detonated in the 1950s. Madison's research looks below the waves to help understand where the radioactive fallout from the blasts persists today.
Pamphlets with a Purpose: Students vs. Health Misinformation!
Dr Anna Chruscik
