Abstract 236 U is an anthropogenic radionuclide that is produced from nuclear reactions of
235 U (n, γ) and 238 U (n, 3n). It has gained extensive attention in the field of environment …

A strongly stratified water structure and a densely populated catchment make the Baltic Sea
one of the most polluted seas. Understanding its circulation pattern and time scale is …

Abstract The Fram Strait is a key region for investigating the exchange of Atlantic water with
the Arctic Ocean. Uranium-236 (236 U) from the two European nuclear reprocessing plants …

We present an application of multi-isotopic fingerprints (ie, 236U/238U, 233U/236U,
236U/129I and 129I/127I) for the discovery of previously unrecognized sources of …

This study explores for the first time the possibilities that the 233U/236U atom ratio offers to
distinguish waters of Atlantic or Pacific origin in the Arctic Ocean. Atlantic waters entering the …

Uranium-236 is an important anthropogenic radionuclide except for the three main natural
uranium isotopes, which could be applied in the fields of environmental tracer, nuclear …

The pathway and transport time of Atlantic water passing northern Europe can be traced via
anthropogenic radioisotopes released from reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels at Sellafield …

Abstract The Baltic Sea receives substantial amounts of hazardous substances and
nutrients, which accumulate for decades and persistently impair the Baltic ecosystems. With …

Water mass composition and transit times of outflowing waters from the Arctic Ocean can
reflect changes of polar climate and ocean circulation upstream. In this study we apply a …

Our recent attempt to determine ultratrace-level 236U and 233U in small-volume seawater
samples was challenged by high and unstable procedure blanks in our environmental …
