2023, Geochimica et Cosmochimica ActaThe triple argon isotope composition of groundwater on ten-thousand-year timescales
2021, Chemical GeologyCitation Excerpt :For instance, among wells of comparable 14C age, no apparent relationship exists between Δ40Ar and the proximity of well locations (or their associated east-west flowlines) to known Quaternary faults (e.g., Figs. 4 and 6) or 14C age (Supplementary Fig. S3). Whereas faults might provide efficient conduits for a flux of crustal radiogenic gases like 4He, which readily diffuses from minerals into groundwater (Solomon, 2000), the diffusive loss of 40Ar (which is heavier and larger than 4He) at cold temperatures (<200 °C) is known to be minimal (Andrews et al., 1989). Conversely, faults can act as effective seals, thereby isolating groundwater from a hypothetical crustal 40Ar flux.
Underground production of <sup>81</sup>Kr detected in subsurface fluids
2021, Geochimica et Cosmochimica ActaCitation Excerpt :These depleted 39Ar/ΣAr ratios measured here, however, are mainly caused by radiogenic 40Ar enrichment (see below and Table 2). Normalizing to non-radiogenic 36Ar, these data correspond to 39Ar/36Ar ratios of 1150 and 430 pMAr, indicating a significant contribution of subsurface-produced 39Ar, as observed elsewhere in high-U concentration rocks (Andrews et al., 1989b; Loosli et al., 1989). In the framework of this study, only a limited number of sampling sites and parameters were investigated (Table 2).
The relationship between He and Cl<sup>−</sup> as a criterion for the formation of groundwater composition
2020, Chemical GeologyCitation Excerpt :The groundwater samples considered in this article are derived from reservoirs of varying geological ages. Among them, 285 parallel determinations of chloride and He concentrations belong to the groundwaters of crystalline pre-Paleozoic rocks of Scandinavian (Ahonen et al., 2011; Andrews et al., 1982, Andrews and Hussain, 1989; Gascoyne, 2000, 2014; Mahara et al., 2008; Pitkanen et al., 1998, Pitkanen and Partamies, 2007; Sherwood Lollar et al., 1993) and Canadian (Bottomley et al., 1984, 1990; Greene et al., 2008; Pinti et al., 2011) shields, Karatwaal craton in southern Africa (Lippmann et al., 2003), as well as Paleozoic granites in California (Torgersen and Clarke, 1992) and Europe (Lehmann et al., 1996; Pearson Jr. et al., 1991). The groundwaters of the Paleozoic sediments have 178 paired determinations of chloride and He concentrations.
Noble gas residence times of saline waters within crystalline bedrock, Outokumpu Deep Drill Hole, Finland
2014, Geochimica et Cosmochimica ActaCitation Excerpt :Noble gas isotopes (only He and Ar) have been previously measured in deep groundwaters of the Fennoscandian Shield by Andrews et al. (1982) from the Stripa mine, by Hilton and Craig (1989) from the Siljan Deep Well (∼7 km deep), and by Sherwood Lollar et al. (1993) from several sites in Finland, but these studies did either not include absolute noble gas concentration determinations or suffered from disturbed sampling conditions, thus hampering the determination of residence times. Samples from the Stripa mine were later studied for their residence time by Andrews et al. (1989), but without success as the He concentrations were concluded to be controlled by steady state processes. Delos et al. (2010) reported the distribution of helium in groundwaters down to a depth of 1 km in crystalline rock in Sweden (Forsmark and Laxemar) and Finland (Olkiluoto).
