The effect of dispersion on the “age” of groundwater calculated from environmental tracers allows a novel way to derive Peclet numbers for large-scale groundwater transport

Abstract New tracer methodologies using stable and radioactive noble gases allow robustly quantifying the velocity of groundwater movement on time scales from years up to 1 million years and more. However, there is a misunderstanding about what the meaning of such a “Tracer Age”...
