The use of environmental chloride and tritium to estimate total recharge to an unconfined aquifer
GB Allison,MW Hughes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a portion of the Gambier plain underlain by an unconfined aquifer with readily definable hydrologic boundaries has been divided into a number of areas within which soil types have similar hydrological properties, and mean annual recharge has been estimated for each area using both the tritium concentration and the chloride concentration of water within the soil profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of natural tracers as indicators of soil-water movement in a temperate semi-arid region
G.B. Allison,M.W. Hughes +1 more
TL;DR: In a semi-arid area of southern Australia, a change in land use from Eucalyptus scrub to cropping with wheat is shown to have caused considerable change in the mechanism of the movement of soil water and the amount of deep drainage as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the theory of tracer experiments in fissured rocks with a porous matrix
Piotr Maloszewski,Andrzej Zuber +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model of parallel fractures, having equal spacing and width, has been applied to tracer movement in fissured rocks with a porous matrix, and the exact solution has been obtained for instantaneous injection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The petrology of the Chalk
TL;DR: Cretaceous chalk is a micritic limestone, mostly debris from planktonic algae, largely in micron-sized plates, but some still in their original circular groupings called coccoliths as mentioned in this paper.

Determining Timescales for Groundwater Flow and Solute Transport
Peter G. Cook,John-Karl Böhlke +1 more
TL;DR: One of the principal uses of environmental tracers is for determining the ages of soil waters and groundwaters as mentioned in this paper, which enables timescales for a range of subsurface processes to be determined.
