Abstract
AbstractDissolved gases, including noble gases, are versatile environmental tracers. Historically, the application of dissolved (noble) gases as tracers in hydrology used to be limited because their measurement required expensive, laboratory‐based instrumentation operated by highly trained personnel. Here, we highlight recent advances in mobile mass spectrometry (MS) methods for noble and other dissolved gases, which enable low cost, high‐throughput, real‐time measurements. We also present applications using mobile MS to quantify hydrological and biogeochemical processes in groundwater and surface waters and to assess hazards and risks to aquatic environments. Finally, we indicate potential future applications of these instruments to enhance hydrological research.
