New Experimental Tools to Use Noble Gases as Artificial Tracers for Groundwater Flow
Frontiers in Water, 2022 Labeling groundwater by injecting an artificial tracer is a standard and widely used method to study groundwater flow systems. Noble gases dissolved in groundwater are potentially ideal artificial tracers, as they are not subject to biogeochemical ...
