This month the International Atomic Energy Agency migrated their Marine Radioactivity Information System from a 2D web map to Cesium. Researchers around the world use the Cesium portal to find radiation data collected for the last 60 years on man-made and naturally occurring radionuclides in the world’s oceans.
