Noble Gas Radioisotopes: 37Ar, 85Kr, 39Ar, 81Kr
No full textNoble gases are chemically inert and therefore at least some of the complications that are common in interpreting isotope data are absent when working with such tracers. The dependence of their solubility on temperature makes it possible to determine the recharge temperature of recent and paleo groundwaters (Stute and Schlosser; Chapter 11). In this chapter we focus on specific radioactive isotopes of two noble gases, argon and krypton, which occur in trace quantities. These isotopes provide information on when recharge took place, because of their known source functions and decay rates. Four nuclides exist that have been measured in groundwater: 37Ar (half-life 35 days), 85Kr (half-life 10.76 years), 39Ar (half-life 269 years) and 81Kr (half-life 229 000 years). Unfortunately, the concentrations of all four isotopes are very small in subsurface waters and consequently analytical procedures are rather complicated. Nevertheless, very valuable results have been achieved in a number of groundwater studies. Since the number of dating tools is quite limited in hydrogeology, any additional information is welcome even if the analytical effort is considerably higher than for some other tracers. In particular, noble gas radioisotopes have been used in combination with more conventional groundwater dating methods, to investigate mixing of waters of different ages: 3H and 85Kr are applicable for young groundwaters (<40 yrs) (this combination is especially useful since the two input functions are different), 39Ar and 14C are appropriate for older groundwaters (50–20 000 yrs) and 8lKr and 36C1 for very old groundwaters (up to 106 yrs). Where such mixing occurs, the use of a single tracer will never be sufficient to characterise the age distribution. In general, as many tracers as possible should be used to cover the time ranges considered to be adequate for a specific hydrogeological situation

The Importance of Being Eelco
No full textProgramming language designers and implementers are taught that:
semantics are more worthwhile than syntax, that programs exist to embody proofs, rather than to get work done, and to value Dijkstra more than Van Wijngaarden.
Eelco Visser believed that, while there is value in the items on the left, there is at least as much value in the items on the right. This short paper explores how Eelco Visser embodied these values, and how he encouraged our work on the Grace programming language, supported that work withio Spoofax, and provided a venue for discussion within the WG2.16 Programming Language Design working group
Beyond agriculture: transcending sectors for diversified livelihoods
No full textLivelihoods within rural communities are not static and are undergoing a quiet revolution in diversification. We need to understand this better when looking for sustainable solutions to the ‘wicked’ problem of poverty alleviation. Case studies from Thailand and Zimbabwe.
