RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr. Solomon’s research includes the use of environmental tracers to evaluate groundwater flow and solute transport processes in local- to regional-scale aquifers. In particular he has help develop the use of dissolved gases including helium-3, CFCs and SF6 to evaluate groundwater ages, travel times, location and rates of recharge, and the sustainability of groundwater resources. He constructed and operates one of only a few labs in the world that measures noble gases in groundwater. His research results have been documented in more than 160 journal articles, book chapters, and technical reports.
