Fundamental approaches to the study of groundwater rely on investigating spatial and temporal distribution stable radioactive isotopes other anthropogenic compounds in natural waterbodies. The most often used tracers for estimating flow paths residence times, groundwater/surface water interaction as well tracing chemical (contamination) sources include (δ 18O δ 2H), radiocarbon (14C; t1/2 = 5730 a), tritium (3H; 12.43 a) unreactive fluorine-containing gases (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons CCl3F or CFC-11; CCl2F3 CFC-12; C2Cl3F3 CFC-113; SF6). While gas are usually referred transient appropriate modern systems, isotopic investigated paleo regional systems. Stable can also be investigate interactions. Another, thus far been less frequently group tracers, cosmo- geo- genic short-lived radioisotopes. These uniquely suited studying a wide range problems that have short time scales including high aquifer vulnerability quantitative qualitative impacts discharge surface waters. Here, we discuss compare applications radio‑sulphur (35S; half-life 87 d), radio‑beryllium (7Be; 53 radio‑phosphorus (32/33P; combined 33 radon (222Rn; 3.8 d) radium (224/223Ra; 5.2 d). paper discusses principles individual tracer methods, focusing isotopes' input functions values, sampling techniques, methods analyses.

Underground coal mining results in large goafs and numerous abandoned mines that contain substantial amounts of coalbed methane. If this methane is not used controlled, it will escape into the atmosphere through geological fractures can result serious greenhouse gas effects environmental damage. Exploring developing resources only improve mine safety protect ecological environment but also reuse waste mitigate energy shortages. Geophysical methods have made some progress detecting mines, there are still challenges difficulties. The resolution seismic exploration may be enough to accurately describe details seams CBM rich areas, effect resistivity method deep limited. In addition, structure usually more complex, such as faults, folds, etc., which makes application difficult increases difficulty data interpretation. Therefore, necessary develop perfect technology continuously including geophysical big data, learning, artificial intelligence inversion realize accurate detection evaluation mines.

Abstract Materials for radiation detection are critically important and urgently demanded in diverse fields, starting from fundamental scientific research to medical diagnostics, homeland security, environmental monitoring. Low-dimensional halides (LDHs) exhibiting efficient self-trapped exciton (STE) emission with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) have recently shown a great potential as scintillators. However, an overlooked issue of exciton-exciton interaction LDHs under ionizing hinders the broadening its applications. Here, we demonstrate exceptional enhancement exciton-harvesting efficiency zero-dimensional (0D) Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 :Tl halide single crystals by forming strongly localized Tl-bound excitons. Because suppression non-radiative interaction, excellent α/β pulse-shape-discrimination (PSD) figure-of-merit (FoM) factor 2.64, superior rejection ratio 10 −9 , scintillation 26 000 photons MeV −1 5.49 α-ray achieved crystals, outperforming commercial ZnS:Ag/PVT composites charged particle Furthermore, detector prototype based on crystal demonstrates capability identifying radioactive 220 Rn gas monitoring We believe that strategy proposed here can greatly boost applications materials.
