LECTURE: What's Up with U? Abandoned Mine Wastes in Native Lands

Many abandoned uranium (U) mine waste sites remain in the Western U.S. More than 500 sites are located in Native American lands. Adequate remediation of these sites represents at least a multimillion dollar federal investment. It is necessary to understand the chemical and physical characteristics of these abandoned mine wastes for adequate management. Join EPSCoR researcher Dr. Cerrato as he discusses this critical problem and his research on abandoned mine wastes in Native American communities in central-western New Mexico and northeastern Arizona.
