Sample Scope

DSC00974b

GNS Science tracer programmes include:

  • dating groundwater using tritium, CFCs and SF6 and 14C;
  • identifying sources and flowpaths of groundwaters using the stable and radioisotopes 2H, 3H, 18O, 13C, 14C, 15N;
  • identify land use impacts on groundwater resources using isotopic and chemistry signature of the water;
  • indicate nitrogen sources using 15N ratios;
  • detecting 32Si in groundwater and sediments
