Quantifying aquifer heterogeneity using superparamagnetic DNA particles

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: , determined from SiDNAmag BTCs were statistically equivalent to the salt tracer in all three experiment systems. Through our experimental and modelling approach, our work demonstrated that in a coarse to very coarse grain sand medium, with lens shaped heterogeneity, the uniquely sequenced SiDNAmag were a promising tool to identify heterogeneity and determine hydraulic parameters and associated uncertainty distributions.
