Traditional and novel time-series approaches reveal submarine groundwater discharge dynamics under baseline and extreme event conditions

Abstract Groundwater is a vital resource for humans and groundwater dependent ecosystems. Coastal aquifers and submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), both influenced by terrestrial and marine forces, are increasingly affected by climate variations and sea-level rise. Despite this, coastal groundwate...
