Mr. Eron Dodak, R.G., L.H.G., of Integral Consulting has coauthored a paper titled “Numerical Study of Bromide as a Tracer for Aquifer Macrodispersivity Tests: Comparing Conservative Behavior to Mildly Nonlinear Adsorption.” This paper demonstrates that aquifer macrodispersivity can be accurately estimated in natural gradient tracer tests using a groundwater tracer exhibiting weakly nonlinear sorption. Accurate estimates of macrodispersivity, a parameter that quantifies the spreading of a groundwater plume as it migrates downgradient, is important in contaminant fate and transport modeling.
