Bayesian evaluation of groundwater age distribution using radioactive tracers and anthropogenic chemicals : UNCERTAINTIES IN GROUNDWATER DATING

Groundwater age is important for recharge estimations and understanding contamination vulnerability. Traditionally, work in this field relies on point source measurements obtained through the application of tracers. Such an approach is fraught with uncertainties. This work was the first to account for uncertainties by using Bayesian methods and as such a new, innovative approach has been developed which is able to provide a credible estimate of groundwater age. Based on this work a further paper in collaboration with Lawrence-Livermore National Laboratory and Deltares was written (by invitation) for a special issue of Applied Geochemistry.
