This workshop is dedicated to the study of noble gas radionuclides 85Kr, 39Ar, and 81Kr, three natural tracers for the circulation of water and ice in the environment. Together with 14C, these radionuclides cover an age scale ranging continuously from a few years to 1.3 million years.

Workshop topics include

  • Isotope detection and analysis methods
  • Sampling and sample preparation methods
  • Applications in groundwater
  • Applications in glacier ice
  • Applications in seawater
  • Other applications

    • For background information, please see:

  • A Primer on Atom Trap Trace Analysis (ATTA) – for colleagues who wish to apply radio-krypton or radio-argon dating
  • Whitepaper from TANGR2012:  Tracer Applications of Noble Gas Radionuclides in the Geosciences.
