Call for abstracts session HS8.2.9 Offshore Freshened Groundwater: Global Perspectives and Emerging Insights
Dear friends and colleagues,
We are happy to share that the submission to EGU 2026 are now open
Please, consider submitting an abstract to the following session:
HS8.2.9 Offshore Freshened Groundwater: Global Perspectives and Emerging Insights
Offshore Freshened Groundwater (OFG) is emerging as a potential additional reservoir of freshwater in coastal regions. This session highlights current research across all aspects of OFG detection, characterization, and modeling to improve our understanding of these complex systems.
In this session, we invite contributions including (but not limited to) site-specific case studies, geophysical surveys, characterization of the sedimentary architecture of the aquifer-bearing units, aquifer geometry and geological heterogeneity, as well as hydrogeological and stratigraphic numerical modeling. We also encourage presentations that address OFG detection, characterisation, and modelling for past emplacement, current status, future evolution, and potential role in future water security.
The goal is to foster an interdisciplinary discussion and advance the global understanding of offshore freshened groundwater systems.
