Radium isotopes as tracers of lacustrine groundwater discharge: Review and prospects
Lacustrine groundwater discharge (LGD) is a crucial component of lake hydrological budgets and serves as a significant source such as nutrients and pollutants. Naturally occurring radioactive radium isotopes (223Ra, 224Ra, 226Ra, 228Ra) have emerged as valuable tracers for studying lacustrine groundwater discharge due to their distinctive geochemical properties. While radium isotopes were primarily utilized in studies of submarine groundwater discharge in the past, their "salt effect" characteristics have increasingly established them as essential tools for identifying and quantifying LGD. This review focuses on the application and research advancements of radium isotopes in tracing LGD, encompassing concepts and methodologies related to lacustrine groundwater discharge, the geochemical characteristics of radium isotopes, the development of radium isotope tracing techniques for LGD, and strategies for source identification and quantification of radium in the groundwater discharge process. Furthermore, this review addresses several limitations and challenges encountered in the application of radium isotope tracing techniques for LGD research and outlines future research directions that could enhance the quantitative study of radium isotopes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Environmental Radioactivity provides a coherent international forum for publication of original research or review papers on any aspect of the occurrence of radioactivity in natural systems.
Relevant subject areas range from applications of environmental radionuclides as mechanistic or timescale tracers of natural processes to assessments of the radioecological or radiological effects of ambient radioactivity. Papers deal with naturally occurring nuclides or with those created and released by man through nuclear weapons manufacture and testing, energy production, fuel-cycle technology, etc. Reports on radioactivity in the oceans, sediments, rivers, lakes, groundwaters, soils, atmosphere and all divisions of the biosphere are welcomed, but these should not simply be of a monitoring nature unless the data are particularly innovative.
