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 …

The fresh groundwater lenses (FGLs) of small islands can be highly vulnerable to climate
change impacts, including sea‐level rise (SLR). Many real cases of atoll or sandy islands …

The development and flow dynamics of freshwater lenses are investigated by physical
experiments on a laboratory scale. Using an acrylic glass box and a combination of different …

Freshwater lenses below barrier islands are dynamic systems affected by changes in
morphodynamic patterns, groundwater recharge and discharge. They are also vulnerable to …

We propose a new concept that has the potential to mitigate seawater intrusion and increase
the fresh groundwater storage of oceanic islands by creating a less permeable slice along …

Freshwater lenses are of great importance in supporting both the vulnerable ecosystems of
small‐to‐medium oceanic islands and the lives of local inhabitants. Recently, an …

The interpretation of groundwater ages in coastal aquifers requires an improved
understanding of relationships between age distributions and the processes accompanying …

Freshwater lenses below barrier islands are a precious resource for the local water supply
and important for coastal ecosystems. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

The aim of this work was to study the processes and factors conditioning the hydrochemistry
of freshwater lenses associated with Holocene coastal deposits in an area of the …

The management of fresh groundwater resources and the delineation of protection zones on
islands require a thorough understanding of flow processes within freshwater lenses …
