Welcome
The Reston Chlorofluorocarbon Laboratory provides analytical services for CFCs, sulfur hexafluoride, and dissolved gases and administers the USGS contract for tritium/helium-3 dating. The data generated by the Reston Chlorofluorocarbon Laboratory are being used in hydrologic studies to trace the flow of young water and to determine the time elapsed since recharge. The laboratory is managed under the direction of L. Niel Plummer and Eurybiades Busenberg of the National Research Program, Water Resources Discipline, and is located in the USGS Headquarters in Reston, Virginia.
