Global Groundwater Solute Composition and Concentrations. [PDF]

Ground Water, 2022
Abstract Informed analysis of policies related to food security, global climate change, wetland ecology, environmental nutrient flux, element cycling, groundwater weathering, continental denudation, human health, and others depends to a large extent on quantitative estimates of solute mass fluxes into and out of all global element pools including the ...

Response and resilience of karst subterranean estuary communities to precipitation impacts. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
Heavy precipitation events caused a halocline shift resulting in a mortality event at a karst subterranean estuary, affecting the fauna inhabiting under the halocline (dotted white line) at the marine groundwater layer (a‐b). Overall, marine species (c‐e) inhabiting the caves were impacted, and cave‐adapted fauna (f‐i) remain resilient to short‐term ...

Effects of interactions between anthropogenic stressors and recurring perturbations on ecosystem resilience and collapse. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2023
Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

Identifying potentially suitable and accessible refugia to mitigate impacts of an emerging disease on a rare tree. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...

Groundwater mapping and locally engaged water governance in a small island terrain: Case study of Karainagar island, Northern Sri Lanka

World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 456-480, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Groundwater is a vital resource under threat in island communities. Karainagar, a 22 km2 island, is one of seven islands off the coast of Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka, with its population of just about 11,000 persons, experiences seasonal water shortage, and salinity in groundwater as twin threats impacting on their lives.

Institutional pathways for transforming groundwater planning and management: Reflections from Pakistan and Sri Lanka

World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 481-501, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The growing issues with groundwater quality and quantity worldwide are particularly impacting regions of South Asia, where groundwater use plays a crucial role in human well‐being. As the severity of the situation becomes clearer, there are increasing calls for transformation in water management.

Layering Action Situations to Integrate Spatial Scales, Resource Linkages, and Change over Time: The Case of Groundwater Management in Agricultural Hubs in Germany

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 111-142, February 2022., 2022
This paper contributes to the integration of the study of multiple (i) spatial scales, (ii) resource systems, and (iii) points in time in natural resource governance by introducing a strategy of layering action situations. In the Institutional Analysis and Development Framework, action situations can be studied singularly, in comparison, or as networks

Achieving Transboundary Water Security Through Water Innovations: A Framework and Cases

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Alternative sources of freshwater, provided by various innovations, have long been available to countries facing acute water stress. We hypothesize that avoiding and/or resolving conflict with neighbors—caused by the uncertainty of continued access to shared surface water and groundwater sources—is another driver of innovation adoption ...
