Job description
Tools based on environmental tracers have been developed since the 1970s to identify sources of contamination and monitor their fate and natural attenuation processes for better management of water resources. Dual-isotope approach of 15N combined with 18O or 34S combined with 18O, enhanced the capability to identify sources and track transformation processes of nitrogen and sulfate in aquatic systems, respectively. Other studies developed a multi-isotopic assessment and probability mixing models to estimate the provenance and apportionment of contaminants in groundwater. The Water Science and Technology Research Group of the Water Center for Latin America and the Caribbean at Tecnológico de Monterrey has developed several of approaches. This position aims to continue these efforts to identify and quantify contaminant sources such as nitrate and sulfate in groundwater with multiple potential sources using a multi-tracer approach combined with a Bayesian isotope mixing model.
