Abstract

In recent years numerous measurements on dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) isotopes in Icelandic waters (surface, and cold and thermal groundwaters) have been performed. The dataset spans geographically all parts of Iceland and reflects wide range both in 14 Cconcentration (0 to 130 pMC) and δ13C(+2 to -26%). Despite the complexity of the DICgroundwater hydrology, the carbon isotopes display some systematic and distinctive groupings, especially reflected in the cold groundwater and the hot fluids circulating the five low geothermal systems within the Reykjavík region, SW Iceland.
