· Abstract. The geologic profile of the western United States lends itself to naturally elevated levels of arsenic and uranium in the groundwater and can be aggravated by mining. The Navajo Nation, located in the American Southwest, is the largest contiguous Native American Nation and has over a 100-year legacy of hard rock mining.

· In general, dissolution of CH 4 in liquid water will decrease the density of the solution whereas dissolution of CO 2 causes solution density to increase (Neufeld et al., 2010). The tendency of aqueous solutions to become more dense upon dissolution of CO 2 allowed it (and CH 4 ) to accumulate in the bottom waters of Lake Nyos, eventually
