(Finalization of the International Biospheric Model Validation Study)
The primary objectives of this meeting were to finalize the drafting of the International Biospheric Model Validation Study (BIOMOVS) final report and to discuss a draft proposal announcing continuation of BIOMOVS into Phase 2. The meeting was held in Paris, France, from April 23 through April 28, 1990, at the offices of INTAKTA, a French subsidiary of the Swedish firm KEMAKTA. The Swedish firm functions as the present secretariat for BIOMOVS. BIOMOVS has provided an international forum for testing and critically evaluating models commonly used to predict the transfer of radionuclides through the biosphere. Although other international efforts have addressed the evaluation and testing of radionuclides and other pollutants in primary environmental media such as the atmosphere and the oceans, BIOMOVS has been the first organization devoted to model testing in the field of radioecology. The task undertaken by BIOMOVS has been especially important because model testing and evaluation involve the transboundary transport between the primary environmental media and the biological elements within these media.
