Coastal settlements are experiencing the effects of climate change‐induced sea‐level rise,
including a significant but often poorly‐characterized impact on groundwater. The shallow …

Seawater intrusion (SI) is a global issue, exacerbated by increasing demands for freshwater
in coastal zones and predisposed to the influences of rising sea levels and changing …

Coastal zones encompass the complex interface between land and sea. Understanding how
water and solutes move within and across this interface is essential for managing resources …

High quality coastal aquifer systems provide vast quantities of potable groundwater for
millions of people worldwide. Managing this setting has economic and environmental …

As human history is changing on many fronts, it is appropriate for us to understand the
different perspectives of major global challenges, of which, water is a major priority. The …

Springs sustain groundwater-dependent ecosystems and provide freshwater for human use.
Springs often occur because faults modify groundwater flow pathways leading to discharge …

On atoll islands, fresh groundwater occurs as a buoyant lens-shaped body surrounded by
saltwater derived from the sea, forming the main freshwater source for many island …

In this paper, simple indicators of the propensity for sea water intrusion (SWI) to occur
(referred to as “SWI vulnerability indicators”) are devised. The analysis is based on an …

Groundwater constitutes the primary source of fresh water for> 1.2 billion people living in
coastal zones. However, the threat of seawater intrusion is widespread in coastal aquifers …

Coastal defense structures (eg, dikes, seawalls) protect vulnerable communities along
marine coastlines and estuaries from the physical and chemical influences of adjacent water …
