Increasing salt production and use is shifting the natural balances of salt ions across Earth
systems, causing interrelated effects across biophysical systems collectively known as …

Elevated groundwater salinity is unsuitable for drinking and harmful to crop production.
Thus, it is crucial to determine groundwater salinity distribution, especially where drinking …

A pragmatic concern guides this perspective piece: How might researchers charged with
leading convergence research better plan, design, implement, and evaluate the integrative …

Anthropogenic salt inputs have impacted many streams in the US for over a century. Urban
stream salinity is often chronically elevated and punctuated by episodic salinization events …

Freshwater Salinization Syndrome (FSS) refers to groups of biological, physical, and
chemical impacts which commonly occur together in response to salinization. FSS can be …

There are challenges in monitoring and managing water quality due to spatial and temporal
heterogeneity in contaminant sources, transport, and transformations. We demonstrate the …

Sanitary sewer systems are critical urban water infrastructure that protect both human and
environmental health. Their design, operation, and monitoring require novel modeling …

Along urban streams and rivers, various processes, including road salt application, sewage
leaks, and weathering of the built environment, contribute to novel chemical cocktails made …

We present the results of a 1-year study that quantified salt levels in stormwater, soils, and
plant tissues from 14 stormwater detention basins across Northern VA in an above-average …

Complex environmental problems, such as climate change, water scarcity, eutrophication,
invasive species, and emerging environmental contaminants, share similar characteristics in …
