Conceptual uncertainties in groundwater and porewater fluxes estimated by radon and radium mass balances

Valenti Rodellas et al.

Summary: This study assesses uncertainties related to radium and radon inputs from groundwater and porewater fluxes into La Palme Lagoon, France. Using a model ensemble approach and sensitivity tests, the study demonstrates that conceptual uncertainties are a major source of uncertainty in estimating groundwater or porewater fluxes. Comparing independent methods helps to constrain the magnitude of porewater fluxes.

A Multi-Tracer Study of Fresh Water Sources for a Temperate Urbanized Coastal Bay (Southern Baltic Sea)

Catia Milene Ehlert von Ahn et al.

Summary: This study characterizes and evaluates the hydrogeochemical gradients in the mixing zone of the Wismar Bay in the southern Baltic Sea, Germany, revealing that different fresh water sources, including SGD, contribute to the water balance of the bay. Enhanced concentrations of radium isotopes and other dissolved substances in surface waters indicate benthic-pelagic coupling and anthropogenic impacts on sediment layers.

Retracing hypoxia in Eckernforde Bight (Baltic Sea)

Heiner Dietze et al.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the mechanisms of hypoxia in the Eckernförde Bight in the Baltic Sea, explore the potential of existing monitoring programs to predict hypoxia, and develop a workflow applicable to other regions facing similar challenges. The research utilizes a highly detailed ocean circulation model to examine the factors contributing to hypoxic events.

Submarine groundwater discharge impacts on coastal nutrient biogeochemistry

Isaac R. Santos et al.

Summary: Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) plays a significant role in connecting terrestrial and marine systems by releasing nutrients into coastal waters. SGD-derived nitrogen inputs can alleviate nitrogen limitation in coastal ecosystems. Saline SGD is a widespread source of recycled nutrients to global coastal waters, while fresh SGD acts as a localized point source of new nutrients.
