New paper out! We unite to rethink how #groundwater science can embrace justice, #Indigenous knowledge & #local voices.

Honoured to speak at the @iaeaorg.bsky.social #ScientificForum on “Quality Unknown — the Invisible Water Crisis.”
Shared insights on global #waterquality challenges & the role of isotopic tools.
Grateful for the powerful dialogue & inspiring contributions. #IAEAGC #Sustainability

In two days I will be speaking at the @iaeaorg.bsky.social #ScientificForum, contributing to the session addressing the accelerating global #water quality decline and how #isotopes can help track and reduce pollutants. You can follow online at www.iaea.org/about/govern...

Assessing groundwater quality and solute sources in highly anthropized areas. The case of Abuja Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria The Abuja Federal Capital Territory is an example of a heavily anthropized aquifer, where natural water-rock interaction processes are masked by human…

How can we estsblish baseline conditions in heavily anthropised #aquifers when historical #data are scarce? We try to address this question in our recently published research in #Abuja 🇳🇬 #groundwater #geochemistry #isotipes

Congratulations!!!

📣 Call for paper for our special issue on "Contribution of #isotope #hydrology to water sciences in #Africa: Revisiting foundations and exploring new research trends" on HSJ. For info: rb.gy/0v74k8

Today we opened the first International Workshop on #WaterandGender organized by UNIPI & UNESCO WWP.

We're honored to welcome in Pisa 50 participants from academia, government, and international institutions for 3 days of collaboration and action.

#WaterEquality #WaterforAll #WaterAction

Excited to be in Rabat 🇲🇦 to discuss about #isotope hydrology and application for #water resources management in #Africa

Last field work of the year for our team. We are almost done with setting up the monitoring network for our projects on #microplastics assessment in #groundwater. There is potential for a lot of fun in 2025! #PlasticUnderground

How the δ18ONO3 versus δ15NNO3 Plot Can Be Used to Identify a Typical Expected Isotopic Range of Denitrification for NO3-Impacted Groundwaters Stable isotope values of δ15NNO3 and δ18ONO3 of dissolved nitrate (NO3) are commonly used to identify the occurrence of denitrification as there is a progressive increase of δ15NNO3 and δ18ONO3 values accompanied by a decrease in NO3 concentration. Thus, denitrification results in a positive trendline on the dual plot of δ18ONO3 versus δ15NNO3. The combination of two trendlines with different slopes provides the “typical expected isotopic range of denitrification (TEIRD)” on the δ18ONO3 versus δ15NNO3 plot. Many studies distinguished denitrified groundwaters by applying the TEIRD concept that is incorrectly introduced because it assumes a single NO3 source even though multiple NO3 sources exist. Also, most TEIRD applications rely on specific denitrification slopes although these are known to vary owing to the aquifer’s changing biogeochemical conditions. Alternatively, an accurate delineation of the TEIRD requires the identification of all potential NO3 sources in aquifer with their measured or reconstructed δ15NNO3 and δ18ONO3 values. This allows then for an accurate TEIRD to be traced with two denitrification trendlines having a slope corresponding to that from the correlation of the measured δ18ONO3 and δ15NNO3 values. Ultimately, each NO3 source can have a specific TEIRD, although denitrification trendlines for multiple NO3 sources can feature the same slope within a single aquifer.
