Groundwater flow and salt transport in a subterranean estuary 2 driven by intensified wave conditions
25 A numerical study, based on a density-dependent variably saturated groundwater flow model, 26 was conducted to investigate flow and salt transport in a near-shore aquifer under intensified 27 wave conditions caused by offshore storms. Temporally varying onshore hydraulic gradients due 28 to wave set-up were determined as the seaward boundary condition for the simulated aquifer. 29 The result...
متن کاملCenturies of human-driven change in salt marsh ecosystems.
Salt marshes are among the most abundant, fertile, and accessible coastal habitats on earth, and they provide more ecosystem services to coastal populations than any other environment. Since the Middle Ages, humans have manipulated salt marshes at a grand scale, altering species composition, distribution, and ecosystem function. Here, we review historic and contemporary human activities in mars...
متن کاملThe effects of cut-off walls on repulsing saltwater based on modeling of density-driven groundwater flow and salt transport
Abstract: A two-dimensional fully implicit finite difference model, which can be easily extended to three dimensions, is developed to study the effect of cut-off walls on saltwater intrusion into the aquifers. This model consists of a coupled system of two nonlinear partial differential equations which describe unsteady density-driven groundwater flow and solute transport. The numerica...
متن کاملSalt Marsh Tidal Channels
Salt marsh tidal channels are highly sinuous. For this project, field surveys and aerial photographs were used to characterize the planform of tidal channels at China Camp Marsh in the San Francisco Bay, California. To model the planform evolution, we assume that the topographic curvature of the channel centreline is a key element driving meander migration. Extraction of curvature data from a p...
متن کاملDelineating the Drivers of Groundwater Flow at a Back Barrier Island – Marsh Transect in Coastal Georgia
Groundwater plays an important role in coastal regions by delivering freshwater and nutrients to near shore and salt marsh environments. To quantify groundwater flow, salinity, temperature and pressure, sensors were installed in shallow piezometers along a transect behind Blackbeard Island, GA. Located approximately 90 m from the nearest tidal creek, the transect reaches from a back barrier isl...
