Ascending deep fluids into shallow aquifer at hydraulically active segments of the western boundary fault of the Rhine Graben, Germany: constraints from 87Sr/86Sr ratios : 15th Water-Rock Interaction International Symposium, WRI-15
87Sr/86Sr ratios have been used as a tracer of fault-controlled fluid ascent into shallow aquifers at the Western Boundary Fault (WBF) of the northern upper Rhine Graben in Germany, a major rift system of the European continent. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios and Sr contents from the Quarternary groundwater c...

| Zusammenfassung: | 87Sr/86Sr ratios have been used as a tracer of fault-controlled fluid ascent into shallow aquifers at the Western Boundary Fault (WBF) of the northern upper Rhine Graben in Germany, a major rift system of the European continent. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios and Sr contents from the Quarternary groundwater conducting sediments of the uppermost aquifer increase with decreasing distance to the WBF. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios and Sr contents of the shallow groundwater range from 0.70877 to 0.71022 and 0.41 to 2.30 mg/l, respectively. The Strontium isotope ratios are important tracers of hydrological processes such as water-rock interaction and groundwater mixing at active faults and thus a powerful geochemical tool for the detection of the ascent of deep fluids at hydraulically active segments of faults and its mixing with shallow recharged groundwater. |
