Dual 222Rn Models for Tracing Groundwater–Lake Water Exchange in a Flow‐Through Lake

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Groundwater–lake water exchange in flow‐through lakes which includes both groundwater discharge into the lake and lake water seepage into the aquifer, is crucial for sustaining lake wetland ecosystems; however, these two processes are rarely addressed simultaneously by tracer methods.

RADON EXHALATION FROM GRANITIC ROCKS

Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2019
Naturally occurring radionuclides such as radon (222Rn), its decay products and other elements from the radioactive series of uranium (238U and 235U) and thorium (232Th) are an important source of human exposure to natural radioactivity.

Sandy Subterranean Estuaries Minimize Groundwater Nitrogen Pollution Impacts on Coastal Waters

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 3, 16 February 2025.
Abstract Widespread anthropogenic activities pollute groundwater that eventually seeps out to the coastal ocean. Here, we resolve nutrient transformations and fluxes in 11 sandy subterranean estuaries (STEs) with contrasting nutrient sources and development trajectories.

Control of Groundwater‐Lake Interaction Zone Structure on Spatial Variability of Lacustrine Groundwater Discharge in Oxbow Lake

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Lacustrine groundwater discharge (LGD) is an important water and nutrient source for lakes. Despite its importance, high‐resolution quantifying the spatial variability of LGD remains challenging. Particularly, little studies have explored the impact of the interaction zone structure between lakes and aquifers on this variability. Present study

Spatio‐Temporal Variability of Hyporheic Exchange Processes Across a Stream Network

Hydrological Processes, Volume 38, Issue 12, December 2024.
Hyporheic exchange processes (HEP) scale across stream networks, but only limited knowledge exists about the temporal variability of HEP over the hydrological year and across the stream network. Combining field‐based measurements with numerical modelling, our findings reveal that HEP exhibit high temporal variability throughout the hydrological year in

Tracing Groundwater‐Surface Water Interactions in a Volcanic Maar Lake Using Stable Isotopes and 222Rn

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 129, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Isotope hydrological studies to understand groundwater‐surface water interactions in tropical, high‐elevation catchments are limited. These interactions are important in controlling lake water residence time, aqueous biogeochemistry, and water availability for downstream communities and ecosystems. To better comprehend the complexity of spatio‐
