Rare-earth elements and isotopic geochemistry of thermal waters of the Okhotsk sea shore, Far East of Russia

Abstract New data on hydrogeochemistry of thermal waters of the Okhotsk sea-shore (Ulskiy, Annensky Tumnin, Talaya, Paratunka, Dagi and Lesogorsky) is presented in the paper. Sikhote-Alin ridge thermal waters with crystalline host rocks refer to sulfate-hydrocarbonate or hydrocarbonate sodium fresh...

Description
Summary:Abstract New data on hydrogeochemistry of thermal waters of the Okhotsk sea-shore (Ulskiy, Annensky Tumnin, Talaya, Paratunka, Dagi and Lesogorsky) is presented in the paper. Sikhote-Alin ridge thermal waters with crystalline host rocks refer to sulfate-hydrocarbonate or hydrocarbonate sodium fresh waters with elevated silicon content (up to 41 ppm), lowest TDS (<0.3 g/L), alkaline (9.1 Eh>-157 mV). Geological conditions were proved by shapes of REE patterns (positive Eu-anomaly for sedimentary basins). Stable water isotopes led us to divide roughly studied waters into two groups, using peculiarities of moisture source for water recharge areas. First group: Tumin, Annensky and Talaya with more “continental” climate as for mainland thermal waters, forming isotopically lighter water and second group: Ulskiy, Paratunka, Dagi and Lesogorsky, with “marine” climate of Sakhalin and Kamchatka, forming isotopically heavier water.
