The high concentration of nitrate in Fairbanks drinking water cannot be explained by anthropogenic or environmental factors. I am examining the possibility of geologically sourced nitrogen through analysis of nitrogen content and isotopic composition in rock and how it spatially correlates to stream nitrate concentrations.
