The coastal transition zone is an underexplored frontier in hydrology and geoscience
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 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 ...

Hydrogeology of coastal aquifers: Introduction
Boletín Geológico y Minero, 2022 Es una realidad que en la mayor parte del planeta las grandes urbes se suelen desarrollar en las áreas costeras. Asimismo, es frecuente que las zonas litorales tengan también un desarrollo agrícola y turístico muy notable, algo menos en las áreas kársticas costeras (Fidelibus and Pulido- Bosch, 2018).

Intensively exploited Mediterranean aquifers: resilience to seawater intrusion and proximity to critical thresholds [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 We investigate seawater intrusion in three prominent Mediterranean aquifers that are subject to intensive exploitation and modified hydrologic regimes by human activities: the Nile Delta, Israel Coastal and Cyprus Akrotiri aquifers.

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Frozen Ground Induces Seawater Retreat in Coastal Unconfined Aquifers
Geophysical Research LettersWhile seawater intrusion (SWI) in coastal aquifers has been extensively investigated, most studies focused on unfrozen conditions. In many cold regions, frozen ground is common, yet its impact on SWI remains poorly understood.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...
