Application of Noble Gas Isotopes to Define Ground Water Flow and Interactions with Deeper Fluids Occurring within Individual Flow Zones of Edwards Aquifer System, San Antonio, Texas: Andrew G. Hunt

Project Title: Application of Noble Gas Isotopes to Define Ground Water Flow and Interactions with Deeper Fluids Occurring within Individual Flow Zones of Edwards Aquifer System, San Antonio, Texas
Mendenhall Fellow: Andrew G. Hunt, (303)-236-4931, ahunt@usgs.gov
Duty Station: Denver
Start Date: November 4, 2001

Project Description: Standard and unconventional techniques for sampling noble gas compositions will be used on waters associated with the complex flow system of the Edwards aquifer. The goal of this investigation will be to produce ground water age (3He/3H and 4He) constraints for the fresh water zone associated with the aquifer as well as show the extent of interaction between the shallow, fresh water zone and the deeper, down-dip brines.
