Subterranean estuaries the, subsurface mixing zones of terrestrial groundwater and
seawater, substantially influence solute fluxes to the oceans. Solutes brought by …

Abstract Integrated Hydrological Models (IHMs) dynamically couple surface and
groundwater processes across the unsaturated zone domain. IHMs are data intensive and …

The paper deals with the identification of Natural Background Levels (NBLs) in a
groundwater body located in a volcanic area. NBLs were assessed through spatial analysis …

Geological heterogeneity of the subsurface, caused by both discrete features and spatially
distributed hydraulic conductivity fields, affects the flow of coastal groundwater. It influences …

Volcanic dykes are common discrete heterogeneities in aquifers; however, there is a lack of
field examples of, and methodologies for, comprehensive in situ characterization of their …

The characterization of a groundwater body involves the construction of a conceptual model
that constitutes the base knowledge for monitoring programs, hydrogeological risk …

Saltwater intrusion is the greatest risk to coastal community water supplies where they are
dependent on fresh groundwater as the main source of supply. For small, fractured bedrock …

Modeling anisotropic flow in porous or fractured rock often assumes that the permeability
tensor is diagonal, which means that its principle directions are always aligned with the …

Hydraulic conductivity is one of the most critical and at the same time one of the most
uncertain parameters in many groundwater models. One problem commonly faced is that …

The process of accounting for heterogeneity has made significant advances in statistical
research, primarily in the framework of stochastic analysis and the development of multiple …
