Chemical and Isotopic Constraints on 14C Dating of Groundwater

  • Conference paper
Radiocarbon After Four Decades

Abstract

The conversion of the 14C activity of the total dissolved inorganic carbon (TDIC) in terms of groundwater residence time is an interpretation requiring the discussion of several constraints. This chapter is a review of some geochemical conditions that must be considered for groundwater dating.
