Jordi Vives I Batlle Email & Phone Number

Specialist in environmental radioactivity with expertise on radioecology, radiological protection / dosimetry and radiochemistry, with 36 years working for universities, government and industry in Catalonia, Ireland, U.S.A, UK and now Belgium. Current experience involves the development of models for radionuclide transfer in marine and forest ecosystems, assessing the impact of accidental discharges from the Fukushima accident to the marine environment, modelling the impact of radiation on populations of non-human biota and environmental impact assessment of nuclear reactors and waste disposal facilities. Main research interests lie on developing the international framework for the assessment of environmental impact by predicting and measuring the transfer of radionuclides from the environment to living organisms and assessing the radiological effects.Presently, J. Vives has 95 research articles, 35 conference papers, 5 book chapters, 42 scientific reports in the public domain and 90 confidential consultancy reports to his credit. Prof. Vives is currently member of the UNSCEAR Belgian Delegation. He is also member of the ICRP, working on various task groups protection of the environment from ionising radiation. He is also a member of the European Radioecology Alliance and has participated in the EC-funded projects COMET (COordination and iMplementation of a pan-Europe instrumenT for radioecology), STAR (Strategy for Allied Radioecology), CONFIDENCE, OPERRA HARMONE, TERRITORIES, RADONORM, SINFONIA and EURAMED ROCC-N-ROLL as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency MODARIA and MEREIA projects (working Groups on biota dose and effects modelling). He also has contacts with BIOPROTA (international forum for environmental modelling in support of long-term radwaste management) and the ERICA consortium that develops the ERICA Tool for the impact of ionising radiation on wildlife. Beyond the scientific domain Jordi Vives is a classical composer with 45 compositions to his credit including a symphony, six string quartets, a piano quintet and works for string orchestra and the Renaissance lute. Some of these works have been performed professionally and published, and are obtainable through the online via Scoreexchange.com and the Catalan publisher "La Ma de Guido".Research focus: Biosphere Impact Studies, modelling the transfer of radionuclides through the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.Expertise in Radioecology, Environmental Physics, Radiation protection, Environmental Risk Assessment.
