Natural tracing - Natural tracing of flows

The purpose of this EU is

1) to give students an overview of the value and power of isotopic geochemical and dating tools for understanding how hydrosystems/aquifers work,

2) to help them masterthe context in which these tools can be applied 

3) to provide the knowledge necessary to understand and develop these techniques.

This course is based on theoretical knowledge (lectures) and concrete case studies (tutorials/practical work).

Master natural flow tracing tools, particularly isotopic tools used to characterize the origin of water and secondary processes that may have affected it. Characterize groundwater recharge dynamics and estimate residence times using tracers commonly used in hydrogeology.

Identify types of anthropogenic contamination and determine their origin using isotopic tracers.

Linking the information obtained by these isotopic and dating tools to the structure, functioning, and vulnerability of aquifers.

Master's 1 courses: "Functioning of Hydrosystems" and "Applied Hydrochemistry"
