Uranium isotopes as a tracer of groundwater transport studies
The activity concentrations of 234U and 238U in thermal groundwater, deep well water and river water samples from Central Poland were determined. Concentration of 234U and 238U in the examined waters varied from <0.013 (LLD) to 16.8 mBq/dm3 and from <0.013 (LLD) to 45.5 mBq/dm3 respectively. The highest uranium activity concentrations were measured in the thermal groundwater from Mszczonow and ...
متن کاملInvestigating Contaminant Inputs via Submarine Groundwater Discharge to Coastal Waters Using Radium Isotopes
Our long-term goal is to determine if submarine groundwater discharge (SGWD) is an important mechanism for delivering contaminants (i.e. heavy metals, organics) to harbors. We plan to accomplish this goal using a suite of naturally-occurring radium isotopes as tracers of SGWD and the dispersion of contaminants from the embayment (Buesseler/WHOI). In addition, we plan to develop a comprehensive ...
متن کاملUsing natural distributions of short-lived radium isotopes to quantify groundwater discharge and recharge
Radium activity in pore water of wetland sediments often differs from the amount expected from local production, decay, and exchange with solid phases. This disequilibrium results from vertical transport of radium with groundwater that flows between the underlying aquifer and surface water. In situations where groundwater recharge or discharge is significant, the rate of vertical water flow thr...
متن کاملRadium isotopes in the Ulsan Bay.
In order to estimate the fluxes of Ra isotopes, we measured 224Ra, 226Ra, and 228Ra activities in the Ulsan Bay mixing zone. The convex upwards curvature of the plot of Ra isotope activities versus salinity for the mixing zone suggests that Ra isotopes are supplied from particles entering the mixing zone from both the river and bottom sediments. This addition increases the estuarine flux of 226...
متن کاملCharacterizing sources of groundwater to a tropical coastal lagoon in a karstic area using radium isotopes and water chemistry
Radium isotopes (Ra, Ra, Ra, and Ra) and water chemistry were used to identify two chemically distinct sources of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in Celestún Lagoon, Yucatán, Mexico. Low salinity groundwater discharging from springs within the lagoon has previously been identified and extensively sampled for nutrient concentrations. However, a second type of groundwater discharging into t...
