Behaviour of Tritium and Tritiogenic Helium in Freshwater Lens Groundwater Systems: Insights from Langeoog Island, Germany by Vincent E. A. Post, Georg J. Houben, Leonard Stoeckl, Jürgen Sültenfuß

“…Tritium (3H) and its daughter product 3He have been widely used as tracers in hydrological studies, but quantitative analyses of their behaviour in freshwater lenses and the transition zone in coastal aquifers are presently lacking. In this paper, the fate of 3H and 3He in the freshwater lens and the transition zone as well as the saltwater wedge is studied using numerical variable-density flow and transport models of different degrees of complexity. …”
