The exchange of groundwater between land and sea is a major component of the
hydrological cycle. This exchange, called submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), is …

The flow of terrestrial groundwater to the sea is an important natural component of the
hydrological cycle. This process, however, does not explain the large volumes of low-salinity …

Mixing between meteoric water and sea water produces brackish to saline water in many
coastal aquifers. In this mixing zone, chemical reactions of the salty water with aquifer solids …

Present‐day production of CaCO3 in tne world ocean is calculated to be about 5 billion tons
(bt) per year, of which about 3 bt accumulate in sediments; the other 40% is dissolved …

Many aspects of the carbon cycle can be assessed from temporal changes in the 13C/12C
ratio of oceanic bicarbonate. 13C/12C can temporarily rise when large amounts of 13C …

Discharge of groundwater into the sea is widespread. Overlooking it may lead to serious
misinterpretations of ecological data in studies of coastal pollution, of benthic zonation and …

Water resources are of enormous societal and ecological importance. In coastal areas, they
are under ever greater pressure due to population growth, more affluent lifestyles, food …

Discusses a report which concludes that submarine groundwater discharge (SGWD) may be
a major geochemical supply to the ocean. The finding that, over several hundred kilometers …

First reported in the 1960s, offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) has now been
documented in most continental margins around the world. In this review we compile a …

Analytical methods and numerical experiments are used to study salinization of groundwater
in response to sea level rise. The system that is studied involves a saturated porous medium …
