Climatic and human influences on water resources in low atolls [PDF]

, 2005
Low, small islands have water supply problems amongst the most critical in the world. Fresh groundwater, the major source of water in many atolls, is vulnerable to natural and human-induced changes.

Future changes in population exposure to snowfall extremes across Eurasia

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Extreme snowfall events have frequently occurred across parts of Eurasia, causing substantial economic losses and severe societal impacts. As global warming intensifies, assessing its potential effect on population exposure to such extremes becomes increasingly crucial. This study employed CMIP6 model datasets and future population projections

Layered Radial Aquifer Model for Open‐Pit Mine Closure with Managed Aquifer Recharge

Groundwater, EarlyView.
A radially symmetric layered aquifer model (unconfined–aquitard–confined) coupled to a pit‐lake water balance is developed to screen managed aquifer recharge (MAR) after open‐pit mine closure. Dimensionless type curves quantify trade‐offs between pit recovery time, pumping/recycling, and unconfined mounding as functions of aquifer time scales, aquitard

Imaging Point Source Groundwater Discharges in a Confined Coastal Aquifer Using Electrical Resistivity

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Marine electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is applied to characterize point‐source submarine groundwater discharge (PSGD) along NW Yucatán. ERT observations and forward modeling constrain conduit detectability under varying hydrogeological conditions.

Renewing the Exploration Approach for Mid-Enthalpy Systems: Examples from Northern England and Scotland [PDF]

, 2015
After a promising start in the 1970s and 80s, the UK rather fell behind other countries in the search for viable mid-enthalpy geothermal resources.

Predicting Groundwater Hydrochemical Facies in Three Dimensions with Random Forest Classification, USA

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Random forest classification predictions of groundwater hydrochemical facies (HCFs) can be used for multiple purposes, including the mapping of salinity and other groundwater characteristics. Shown on the figure are predictions of HCFs at the water table across the conterminous United States.
