Register here.
This webinar is held as a collaboration project between the Landscape Ecology Unit coordinated by Dr. Matsuura and the Radioecology Unit by Dr. Hashimoto under the framework of the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO), a global research network of forests and forestry. This is not a seminar to delve deeply into a single theme, but it will be an interesting project to look at environmental radioactivity from a broad perspective view of landscape level.

- Land cover change after the Fukushima nuclear accident seen from satellite images (Takeo Tadono / JAXA, Japan)
