“…Tracers applied within this method should be conservative, that is, no change in signature (e.g. due to isotopic fractionation or chemical reaction of solutes with geology) except due to mixing of different waters (Baraer, McKenzie, Mark, Bury, & Knox, 2009;Mark, McKenzie, & Gómez, 2005). Environmental tracers, such as electrical conductivity (EC), and stable isotopes of water, such as oxygen-18 (δ 18 O), have been used in tracer-based hydrologic studies of glacierized catchments (e.g., Engel et al, 2016;Rodriguez, Ohlanders, Pellicciotti, Williams, & McPhee, 2016;Williams, Wilson, Tshering, Thapa, & Kayastha, 2016).…”
