Abstract In semi-arid regions, a major challenge facing the coastal population is the design of sustainable aquifer protection plans which primary require a reliable understanding of groundwater. The aim of this study was to determine the general state of the Korba aquifer (northwestern Tunsia) with respect to seawater intrusion and to assess ...

Effects of Unsaturated Flow on Salt Distributions in Tidally Influenced Coastal Unconfined Aquifers
Unsaturated flow influences both the seawater extent under steady‐state conditions and the propagation of tides in coastal aquifers. However, its effects on salt distributions in tidally influenced coastal aquifers are little investigated.

Assessing coastal aquifer vulnerability to seawater intrusion using the "GALDIT" method: Application to the Dradère-Souiere coastal aquifer (Northern Morocco) [PDF]
In terms of land-use planning, and in an attempt to anticipate and preserve what can be preserved, the prevention of salinization of coastal aquifers is an important step to which researchers are devoting more and more effort, notably by studying their ...

The coastal transition zone is an underexplored frontier in hydrology and geoscience
Improvements in coastal shallow water geophysical technologies and drilling must be coupled with numerical modelling in order to close the knowledge gaps that exist around coastal aquifers, suggests a synthesis of methodological challenges and future ...

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
