Abstract Alluvial systems are dynamic, structurally complex environments. Groundwater that is extracted from these systems is widely used for domestic consumption. Numerical models play an important role in the management of this extraction. To provide support for decision‐making, models must assimilate data that inform the spatial and temporal ...

Abstract Groundwater flow regulated by deep faults remains challenging to trace due to structural complexity. This study applies the noble gas tracer 222Rn combined with hydrochemistry and stable isotopes (δ2H, δ18O) to distinguish circulation patterns of geothermal springs along a major fault in the Tibetan Plateau.

Blue carbon storage and environmental influences in mangroves, Puerto Rico
Abstract Mangrove ecosystems are important coastal carbon sinks, with soil carbon storage strongly influenced by site‐specific hydrological, sedimentary, and climatic conditions. This study quantified soil carbon stocks in two mangrove systems in Puerto Rico—La Parguera and Laguna Grande—and evaluated the relative influence of hydrology, sediment ...

Gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) and 222Rn, a radioactive gas of primarily terrestrial origin with a half-life of 3.8 days, have been measured simultaneously at Cape Point, South Africa, since March 2007. Between March 2007 and December 2009 altogether 59

Abstract Trace organic compounds (TrOCs) in lotic systems pose risks for ecosystem and human health. TrOCs can enter groundwater along losing river sections, yet little is known about the spatial extent of infiltration zones and the biogeochemical factors controlling the spatial variability of TrOC reactivity and removal, particularly along river‐to ...

Measurement of Radium and Radon Exhalation Rate in Marble Samples used in Al-Bayda City Market-Libya
The aim of the present study is to measure the activity concentrations of 226Ra, 222Rn, the mass exhalation rate of 222Rn, and the annual effective dose of radon in marble samples collected from Al-Bayda city local market –Libya. Samples were measured

ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...

This study demonstrates the use of environmental tracers (Water isotopes-δ18O–δ2H, Radon-222Rn, and Electrical Conductivity-EC) as complementary tools for backtracking the water source, estimating pipe water residence time, and monitoring the instability

Detecting Thunderstorm‐Related High‐Energy Phenomena in Weak Signals
Abstract Gamma‐ray glows (GRGs) are high‐energy events associated with thunderstorms, characterized by an enhancement of the high‐energy background radiation lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. They are typically detected near their sources by balloons, aircraft, mountain‐based observatories, or at sea level in regions where thunderstorms ...
