Submarine groundwater discharge as a major source of nutrients to the Mediterranean Sea.
The Mediterranean Sea (MS) is a semienclosed basin that is considered one of the most oligotrophic seas in the world. In such an environment, inputs of allochthonous nutrients and micronutrients play an important role in sustaining primary productivity. Atmospheric deposition and riverine runoff have been traditionally considered the main external sources of nutrients to the MS, whereas the rol...

متن کاملSubmarine Groundwater Discharge as a Source of Mercury in the Bay of Puck, the Southern Baltic Sea
Both groundwater flow and mercury concentrations in pore water and seawater were quantified in the groundwater seeping site of the Bay of Puck, southern Baltic Sea. Total dissolved mercury (HgTD) in pore water ranged from 0.51 to 4.90 ng l-1. Seawater samples were characterized by elevated HgTD concentrations, ranging from 4.41 to 6.37 ng l-1, while HgTD concentrations in groundwater samples ra...
متن کاملInvestigation of submarine groundwater discharge
Coastal hydrogeologists and oceanographers now recognize the potentially significant contribution that submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) could make to the coastal ocean. SGD may be both volumetrically and chemically important to coastal water and chemical budgets. A worldwide compilation of observed SGD shows that groundwater seepage from the land to the ocean occurs in many environments al...
متن کاملSubmarine groundwater discharge of nutrients and copper to an urban subestuary of Chesapeake Bay (Elizabeth River)
We investigated the role submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) plays in the delivery of nutrients and copper to the Elizabeth River (Virginia) estuary, a major subestuary of lower Chesapeake Bay. Using an approach based on radium isotopes, we concluded that two distinct sources of groundwater were equally impacting the estuary: a surface (marsh) aquifer and deep aquifer source each with a uniqu...
