Abstract. Study of components in groundwater from springs, wells, and river waters in the Orlik settlement and adjacent areas is performed for arrangement of coseismic monitoring in the western part of the Baikal rift system. The first groundwater data series obtained from 17 November 2023 to 16 April 2024 show contrasting coseismic U variations, indicating the high sensitivity of the selected monitoring sites.

Keywords: groundwater, hydrogeochemistry, U, ²³⁴U/²³⁸U, Cherdyntsev-Chalov effect, silica geothermometer, monitoring.

P. 133–151
