- Description
- Background:The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is a world leader in the natural and physical sciences. The USGS provides reliable scientific information to describe and understand the earth; minimize the loss of lives and property from natural disasters; manage biological, water, mineral and energy resources; and enhance and protect our quality of life. The Water Resources Discipline (WRD) of the USGS collects information needed to understand the Nation's water resources. Groundwater dating is being used widely in the USGS, WRD, through national programs such as the National Water Quality Assessment Program, the Groundwater Resources Program, and in numerous State and local water resources investigations conducted by our Water Science Centers. One of the most important tools for groundwater dating is based on the radioactive decay of tritium to helium-3 in groundwater. Further information on the groundwater dating capabilities of the USGS is discussed at http://water.usgs.gov/lab. Basic Requirement: The USGS has a requirement for non-personal, laboratory analytical services to provide all plant equipment, labor, and materials necessary for the analysis of dissolved Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, the 3He/4He isotope ratio of dissolved Helium, and dissolved Tritium in water to calculate age.
