Presentation Transcript

  1. Deducing the distribution of terminal electron-accepting processes (TEAPs) in hydrologically diverse groundwater systems Chappelle et al. (1995) Water Resources Research, Vol 31, No. 2

  2. Introduction • The Importance • The Problem • The Alternative

  3. I TEAPs It Real • The Basics • Water chem can determine TEAPs by • Tracking electron acceptor consumption • Tracking final product accumulation • Tracking intermediate product concentrations • Previous studies fail to TEAPs it real • Hydrogen (H2) concentrations an important intermediate product indicator of TEAPs

  4. PURPOSE OFTHEPAPER

  5. Hierarchical Framework for Identifying TEAPs

  6. STUDY SITES

  15. CONCLUSIONS • The main, important observation is that H2concentration ranges for different TEAPs are consistent between the diverse hydrologic systems studied • H2 Concentrations are a useful indicator for TEAPs and increase confidence when used in conjunction with electron acceptor consumption and final product production.
