Selection, Introduction and Commentary by P.K. Aggarwal, K.O. Fröhlich, J.R. Gat & R. Gonfiantini

Isotope Hydrology uses stable and radioactive isotopes of water and its dissolved constituents to trace hydrological processes, including the pathways of rainfall and snowmelt to, and interactions between, aquifers, lakes and rivers. The potential of using stable isotopes of water was recognized in the 1930s, but not fully explored until the 1950s, since when the scope and nature of isotope applications in hydrology have blossomed. Improvements in measure- ment techniques have facilitated use of isotopes in many contexts, and isotope hydrology has become mainstream, as documented in this volume of reprinted papers and accompanying commentaries.

Section A. Fundamentals includes the first papers on deuterium, 18O and tritium contents in natural waters (Friedman, 1953; Epstein & Mayeda, 1953; Libby, 1953), and Craig’s (1961) seminal paper which defined the global meteoric water line used to understand the source of natural waters. The papers that shaped our understanding of isotopes in precipitation and global circulation, e.g. Dansgaard (1964) and Craig & Gordon (1965), come in B. Atmospheric Water Cycle. The early interpretation of isotope sequences in rock and ice, including the iconic Greenland ice sheet core (Dansgaard et al., 1969), are included in C. Palaeoclimates.

D. River and Lake Hydrology contains influential papers on the use of isotopes to determine the origin of stream and lake waters. E. Groundwater deals with the origin of groundwaters, the earliest use of tritium, 14C, 81Kr and 36Cl to date them, and isotope applications in pollution and groundwater remediation.

An excellent resource for graduate and post-graduate level courses in hydrology, reproducing many important papers which are otherwise difficult to access.

The coauthors have been involved with isotope hydrology for most of their professional lives while working with or for the International Atomic Energy Authority, IAEA. Pradeep Aggarwal, Head of the Isotope Hydrology Section since 1999, came to the IAEA from Argonne National Laboratory, USA. Klaus Froehlich came to the IAEA in 1988 from the Institute of Physics, Freiberg University, Germany, and was Section Head from 1994 to 1999. He was preceded Roberto Gonfiantini (1988–1993) who moved to the IAEA in 1970 from the University of Pisa, Italy. Joel Gat began his work with isotope applications in hydrology in the late 1950s while at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, and has been associated with the IAEA ever since.

The Series Editor of the IAHS Benchmark Papers in Hydrology Series is Jeff McDonnell, Professor and Chair in Watershed Science at Oregon State University, USA, a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, and recipient of several awards.
