Abstract (EDOC: 1459)

Rare earth element distribution of mineral, geothermal and surface waters are discussed. The causes of the evidently natural Ce, Eu, and Y anomalies as well as the anthropogenic Gd anomaly are described. For crustal waters it is suggested to apply the REE/Ca abundance ratios rather than the REE abundances because of the less scatter of patterns achieved. The rock-normalised patterns show rock-specific signatures of the waters. The Gd anomaly can be applied as a conservative tracer in hydrological studies.
