Session Title - en français: Outils isotopiques pour caractériser les impacts anthropiques sur les grands fleuves
Session ID#: 6916
Session Description:
Most large river systems in the world are being impacted by human activities. Such activities include, but are not restricted to deforestation, waste water discharge, damming & flooding, agricultural intensification, etc. In order to mitigate these impacts, we need tools to assess the source of such disturbance in order to decipher natural from anthropogenic influences (as well as untangle different anthropogenic activities). This session will focus on the use of isotopic tracer techniques in studies trying to assess human impacts on large rivers systems. We encourage all isotopic systems (traditional & non—traditional stable, radiogenic, cosmogenic and noble gases isotopes) in water, nutrients and sediments.
