Abstract

Groundwater Se concentrations ranged from below detection limit (<0.5μgL(-1), and primarily are controlled by high groundwater nitrate concentrations that maintain oxidizing conditions in the aquifer despite low dissolved oxygen concentrations, which indicate nitrate is largely derived from natural sources in the Mancos Shale and alluvial material.
