Abstract
Groundwater-surface water interactions are widespread across the globe and occur at the multiple interfaces across the landscape. These interactions, which involve the exchange of water and solutes, play a critical role in influencing water quality and ecosystems. While numerous studies have investigated the mechanisms of flow during groundwater-surface water exchanges, and the importance of these interactions has been recognized, it is now the time to highlight their impact on aquatic environment and ecosystems. In this topical collection, we invite manuscripts on topics including but not limited to (1) nutrient (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus) cycle and contaminant transformation, transport and fate in the groundwater-surface water interaction zone; (2) the role of groundwater discharge on water quality or ecosystem structure of lakes, rivers, wetlands, and coastal environment, with emphasis on estimation of chemical fluxes; (3) the effects of surface water seepage on groundwater quality.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Earth Sciences is an international multidisciplinary journal concerned with all aspects of interaction between humans, natural resources, ecosystems, special climates or unique geographic zones, and the earth:
Water and soil contamination caused by waste management and disposal practices
Environmental problems associated with transportation by land, air, or water
Geological processes that may impact biosystems or humans
Man-made or naturally occurring geological or hydrological hazards
Environmental problems associated with the recovery of materials from the earth
Environmental problems caused by extraction of minerals, coal, and ores, as well as oil and gas, water and alternative energy sources
Environmental impacts of exploration and recultivation – Environmental impacts of hazardous materials
Management of environmental data and information in data banks and information systems
Dissemination of knowledge on techniques, methods, approaches and experiences to improve and remediate the environment
In pursuit of these topics, the geoscientific disciplines are invited to contribute their knowledge and experience. Major disciplines include: hydrogeology, hydrochemistry, geochemistry, geophysics, engineering geology, remediation science, natural resources management, environmental climatology and biota, environmental geography, soil science and geomicrobiology.
