This award will support collaborative research between Dr. William              Stone of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, and Dr.             Glen R. Walker of the Divison of Water Resources, Commonwealth                  Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Glen Osmond, South             Australia.  The investigators will study means for obtaining                    information on paleohydrologic conditions using a chloride mass-                balance approach by testing the method in the Murray Basin of South             Australia, where both chronologic and paleoclimatological data are              available.  Samples obtained from several 40m boreholes will be                 analyzed for moisture, soil-water chloride, oxygen-18, and deuterium            content, and the results compared with results of stable and                    radioactive isotopes, existing chronologic data, and previous                   paleoclimate reconstructions.                                                                                                                                   This project combines the expertise of the two investigators, one in            the use of isotopes and the chloride mass-balance method, and the               other in Australian Geology.  The results of this research should               contribute to our basic understanding of the behavior of radioactive            isotopes in soils, with longer-term impact on the study of ground               water resources and waste disposal dynamics.
