HydroTalks: Daren Gooddy on agriculture, groundwater, ecosystems and public health

Welcome to HydroTalks, the new podcast series of the EGU Hydrological Sciences (HS) Division. Every month, we interview experts about the advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field of hydrology.

In the third episode we dive deep in the underground. Hydro-geochemist Prof. Daren Gooddy explains how agricultural nitrogen, pesticides and emerging PFAS threaten groundwater, ecosystems and public health.

He outlines tracer techniques, from CFCs to radiocarbon, that reveal groundwater age and contaminant pathways, and predicts how climate-driven speeds up pollutant delivery. Find out more about Daren Gooddy here: / daren-gooddy-881716
