Tracer/Isotopehydrogeology

Systems and altitude effect
Groundwater recharge, infiltration
Groundwater recharge in areas with dry climate, evaporation, etc.
Introduction to the application of tracers, objectives and limitations
Natural tracers
Artificial tracers (paint, SF6, radioactive tracers)
Evaluation, exam preparation
Exam (written, computer).

The students are able to use isotope-specific methods to deal with hydrogeological questions (mixing of waters, recharge rates, determination of transit time).
They have knowledge of the possible use of tracers in hydrogeology and can critically evaluate the results.

The exam will cover the content of the Applied Hydrogeology and Tracer Hydrogeology courses together. The requirements will be announced.

written exam

will be announced in the course.
