Carbon 14 and tritium measurements of groundwaters in the Eaton River Basin and in the Mirabel area, Quebec

Abstract: Twenty-nine carbon 14 measurements and 39 tritium determinations were performed on groundwater samples collected from various hydrostratigraphic units of the Eaton River Basin in the Quebec Appalachians and of the Mirabel area in the St. Lawrence Lowlands. The age of water contained in the Quaternary sand and gravel aquifers laid down in preglacial valleys of the Eaton River Basin as well as, that contained in the Cambro-Ordovician carbonate rocks underlying the Mirabel area is shown to be controlled by the pe… Show more

“…Des régressions de ce genre peuvent expliquer l'enfoncement des vallées estriennes dont le plancher rocheux descend, d'après les divers sondages, jusqu'à 50 et 100 m sous le niveau alluvial actuel et l'existence de réseaux abandonnés et fossilisés (CLÉMENT et POU-LIN, 1975;SIMARD, 1977).…”

“…De faqon similaire, si le carbone B l'origine des concrktions avait eu un dge apparent, ceci ne powait que "vieillir" les concrktions. Pour fixer l'ordre de grandeur de tels vieillissements, rappelons que les dges apparents des eaux souterraines, dans les basses-terres du Saint-Laurent, sont de l'ordre de 4000-7000 BP (Simard 1977; Laboratoire de Gkochimie isotopique de I'UQAM: donnkes inkdites). I1 nous parait donc certain que l'activit6 14C de ces concrdtions, notarnment de celles, strikes, datkes dans le cadre de la prksente ktude, est le reflet de l'activitk du carbone total dissous des solutions interstitielles, dans les skdiments glacio-lacustres ant6rieurs B l'avancke glaciaire qui mit en place le till de Gentilly.…”
