Discussion

Numerical modelling describes transport patterns and salinity dynamics in high-energy subterranean estuaries, highlighting their biogeochemical role.

The study developed a density-dependent groundwater flow model for a high-energy subterranean estuary.
Calibration was based on 1.5 years of data on groundwater heads, salinities, and temperatures at various depths.
The model identified hotspots of temporal variability in salinity and groundwater age across different tidal conditions.
Findings underscore the biogeochemical significance of groundwater transport processes in coastal environments.

Greskowiak et al. (2025) studied this question.
