The aim of this study is to analyse the role natural radionuclides 226Ra, 228Ra, 40K and unsupported 210Pb (210Pbex), as erosion accumulation process tracers. For purpose, a complex system, including both characteristic dynamics closed beach those associated with open wave action, was studied. A 3-year monthly variation 210Pbex carried out at Las Canteras beach, on Island Gran Canaria (Spain), ...

• The Brazilian semiarid is the most densely populated dry region in world. Sediment source apportionment was quantified a ephemeral catchment. combination of conventional and alternative tracers improved discrimination. Our results may gain high visibility given climate change projections for regions. Although underline need creation integrated strategies to protect water resources semiarid, s...

Walker Lake, a hydrologically closed, saline, alkaline lake located along the western margin of the Great Basin of western United States, has experienced a 77% reduction in volume and commitment drop in lake level as a result of anthropogenic perturbations and climatic fluctuations over the last century. The history of lake-level change in Walker Lake has been recorded instrumentally since 1860...

Patterns of migration and habitat use in diadromous fishes can be highly variable among individuals. Most investigations into diadromous movement patterns have been restricted to populations in regulated rivers, and little information exists for those in unregulated catchments. We quantified movements of migratory barramundi Lates calcarifer (Bloch) in two large unregulated rivers in northern A...

This paper presents repeat field measurements of 222Rn and 223,224,226,228Ra, electromagnetic seepage meter-derived advective fluxes, and multi-electrode, stationary and continuous marine resistivity surveys collected between November 2005 and April 2007 to study coastal groundwater dynamics within a marine beach in Santa Barbara, California. The study provides insight into magnitude and dynami...

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is now recognized as an important process of the hydrological cycle worldwide and plays a major role conveyor dissolved compounds to ocean. Naturally occurring radium isotopes (223Ra, 224Ra, 226Ra 228Ra) are widely employed geochemical tracers in marine environments. Whilst Ra were initially predominantly applied study open ocean processes fluxes across con...
