Noble gas constraints on the fate of arsenic in groundwater

Alexandra K. Lightfoot et al.

Summary: Groundwater contamination of geogenic arsenic remains a global health threat, particularly in southeast Asia, where a prominent correlation between high arsenic concentrations and methane has been observed. This study analyzed the gas dynamics in an arsenic-contaminated aquifer and found a progressive depletion of atmospheric gases alongside an increase in methane. It was hypothesized that the formation of a free gas phase mainly composed of methane significantly reduces water renewal and impacts groundwater flow. Another hypothesis suggests the potential transport of helium from an adjacent aquitard into the methane producing zone. These findings provide a plausible explanation for the correlation between high arsenic and methane concentrations and the patchy distribution of dissolved arsenic in contaminated aquifers.

Complexity of groundwater age mixing near a seawater intrusion zone based on multiple tracers and Bayesian inference

YeoJin Ju et al.

Summary: This study was conducted in a coastal aquifer near the Yellow Sea in South Korea, using multiple age tracers for Bayesian inference to investigate groundwater age distributions and associated uncertainties. The results revealed complex age distributions near seawater intrusion areas and upland recharge zones, indicating converging paths of different ages in these regions. The Bayesian inference identified significant uncertainties, particularly for older age distributions, providing insights into flow dynamics at a complex seawater interface.

Widespread six degrees Celsius cooling on land during the Last Glacial Maximum

Alan M. Seltzer et al.

Summary: Analysis and modeling of noble gases in groundwater demonstrate that the mean annual surface temperatures of low-altitude, low-to-mid-latitude land masses were about 6 degrees Celsius cooler during the Last Glacial Maximum compared to the Late Holocene.
