Using Chemical, Hydrologic, and Age Dating Analysis to Delineate Redox Processes and Flow Paths in the Riparian Zone of a Glacial Outwash Aquifer-Stream System

By Larry J. Puckett, Timothy K. Cowdery, Peter B. McMahon, Lan H. Tornes, and Jeffrey D. Stoner

[Water Resources Research, vol. 38, no. 8, August 2002]

 Table 4. Median concentrations of S2-, dissolved gases, NO3-, excess N2  (Xs N2), reconstructed NO3- (SNO3-), and CFC apparent ages of samples collected between 1994 and 1997. [All concentrations are mmol L-1 and ages are in years. NO3- concentrations may differ from Table 3 because only samples having paired N2 gas data were included in the calculations. Values reported as “0” were less than the detection limit.]
