Rezension

"The book does a good job of introducing the reader to the often-overlooked complexity in interpreting the deceptively simple results of age dating." ( Journal of Environmental Quality , April 2008)
"...this book is the first to incorporate and synthesize the entire state of the art of the business of groundwater dating." ( CHOICE , January 2007)

"Presenting modern knowledge and cutting-edge research simply and clearly, Groundwater Age will satisfy and stimulate both seasonal professionals and student novices alike." ( Journal of the American Water Resources Association , August 2006)
