HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – A Comparison of Sea-level Rise and Storm-Surge Overwash Effects on Groundwater Salinity of a Barrier Island

In this research highlight, researchers explored the impacts of storm surge overwash and sea-level rise on groundwater salinization at Assateague Island, a low-lying barrier island on the U.S. mid-Atlantic coast. The study used HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to simulate the coupled surface and subsurface flow processes that influence the island’s aquifer system. By modelling future sea-level rise and storm-surge events, the researchers aimed to better understand the long-term effects of climate change on groundwater resources, particularly the vulnerability of freshwater lenses to salinization.

Assessing Groundwater and Surface Water Contributions to Evapotranspiration in a Semi-Arid Watershed - Aquanty Webinar

Assessing Groundwater and Surface Water Contributions to Evapotranspiration in a Semi-Arid Watershed - Aquanty Webinar

A recording of our October 30th, 2024 webinar is now released.

This session delves into how groundwater (GWET) and surface water (SWET) shape actual evapotranspiration (AET) dynamics in the North Saskatchewan River Basin— a vital area for understanding water balance in semi-arid regions.

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Modeling low-flow bedrock springs providing ecological habitats with climate change scenarios

In this research highlight, researchers used HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to investigate the impact of low-flow bedrock springs on ecological habitats under various climate change scenarios, with a focus on the effects on aquatic species such as salamanders. These bedrock springs are critical for sustaining ecosystems, and understanding their future dynamics is essential for effective conservation.

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – The effects of land subsidence and its mitigating measures on shallow groundwater salinization in the low-lying coastal plain of East Japan

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – The effects of land subsidence and its mitigating measures on shallow groundwater salinization in the low-lying coastal plain of East Japan

The research investigates how land subsidence and mitigation measures, specifically pumping stations and ditch systems in Shirako Town, Japan's lower Nabaki River region, interact. Land subsidence, caused by natural and human factors, heightens flood risks in coastal areas, challenging infrastructure stability and environmental sustainability. While pumping stations and ditches aim to manage surface water levels and reduce floods, their impact on groundwater salinity near tidal rivers is unclear. Using a coupled surface-subsurface model, the study reveals potential risks like saline water intrusion into groundwater.
