[en] Joint heat and solute tracer tests allow to add diffusion and conduction information to the solute advection-dispersion and help imaging preferential pathways in heterogeneous aquifers. We perform a joint interpretation of heat and solute tracer tests combining deterministic modeling and Bayesian Evidential Learning. The results show a strong influence of the water viscosity. The stochastic simulations highlight the influence of spatial and parameter uncertainty on the resulting breakthrough curves, stressing the need for realistic uncertainty quantification.
