Using atmospheric noble gases and sulfur hexafluoride as indicators for transport and reaction processes in hydrocarbon contaminated sediments

Naturally occurring contaminant attenuation processes are investigated in a petroleum-hydrocarbon contaminated shallow aquifer, near Bemidji, MN. At this site, the biodegradation of hydrocarbons operates mostly under methanogenic conditions and generates CO₂ and CH₄. The main objectives of this stud...
