This updated and expanded edition provides a thorough understanding of the measurable properties of groundwater systems and the knowledge to apply hydrochemical, geological, isotopic, and dating approaches to their work. This volume includes question and answer discussions for key concepts presented in the text and the basic hydrological, geological, and physical parameters to be observed and measured. Chemical and Isotopic Groundwater Hydrology, Third Edition covers the chemical tools of groundwater hydrology, the isotopic composition of water and groundwater dating by tritum, carbon-14, Cl-36, and He-4, as well as the application of fossil groundwater as a paleoclimatic indicator.
Biography
Emanuel Mazor is Professor (retired}, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. Still active at the university, his long list of research papers investigates a wide spectrum of groundwater occurrences. These studies were carried out in many countries and with the close association of a long list of coworkers. The water samples that were collected in the field were sent to expert laboratories for analysis, except for the noble gases, for which he headed a leading laboratory for more than 20 years. Dr. Mazor received the B.S. (1955) and Ph.D. (1960) degrees in geology from Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
