New article finds groundwater pumping causes salinization of coastal streams
An article titled “Groundwater pumping causes salinization of coastal streams due to baseflow depletion: Analytical framework and application to Savannah River, GA” was published in the January 2022 issue of the Journal of Hydrology (https:/
New continuous water quality station - Project WiCCED update
Center for the Inland Bays (CIB, https://inlandbays.org) staff member Zach Garmoe and DGS staff member Scott Andres installed a continuous water quality monitoring station in early June on Herring Creek.
The Coastal Critical Zone: Processes that transform landscapes and fluxes between land and sea
Sea-level rise is causing saltwater to move from coastal marshes and tidal creeks inland over forests and croplands.
Assessing spatial distributions and vulnerability of stored soil carbon in St. Jones and Blackbird Marshes
Delaware is home to extensive networks of tidal marshes, which provide an array of critical ecosystem services including carbon sequestration. These marshes accumulate carbon due to their relatively high plant productivity and relatively low rates of litter decomposition.
Storm Surge and High Tide Relationships in the Delaware Inland Bays
It has been widely documented that Delaware is highly vulnerable to the impacts of coastal flooding along its Delaware Bay, Atlantic Ocean, and Delaware Inland Bay shores.
