Classifying pan-Arctic supra-permafrost aquifer function under present and projected conditions
The changing Arctic climate is affecting groundwater flow and storage in supra-permafrost aquifers due to groundwater recharge changes and thaw-driven alterations to aquifer properties and connectivity. Changes to shallow subsurface hydrological processes can drive extensive ecological and biogeochemical changes in addition to potential surface hydrologic regime shifts. This study uses a pan-Arctic geospatial approach to classify shallow, unconfi…
Storm surge, seawater flooding, and sea-level rise paradoxically drive fresh surface water expansion
Coastal storms and sea-level rise (SLR) are expected to increase seawater flooding in low-elevation coastal zones. High sea levels and seawater flooding can drive groundwater table rise via ocean-aquifer connections. These dynamics are often overlooked but can cause groundwater flooding and salinization hazards, increasing freshwater security challenges for coastal communities and driving ecosystem transgressions. Field data and numerical modelin…
Stuck in the middle: Thermal regimes of coastal lagoons and estuaries in a warming world
Wind-modulated groundwater discharge along a microtidal Arctic coastline
Groundwater discharge transports dissolved constituents to the ocean, affecting coastal carbon budgets and water quality. However, the magnitude and mechanisms of groundwater exchange along rapidly transitioning Arctic coastlines are largely unknown due to limited observations. Here, using first-of-its-kind coastal Arctic groundwater timeseries data, we evaluate the magnitude and drivers of groundwater discharge to Alaska’s Beaufort Sea coast. Da…
Mobilization of subsurface carbon pools driven by permafrost thaw and reactivation of groundwater flow: A virtual experiment
Permafrost thaw leads to an increase in groundwater circulation and potential mobilization of organic carbon sequestered in deep Arctic sediments (e.g. 3–25 m below surface). Upon thaw, a portion of this carbon may be transported along new groundwater flow paths to surface waters or be microbially transformed or immobilized by in-situ biogeochemical reactions. The fate of thaw-mobilized carbon impacts surface water productivity and global climate…
Sea-level rise and warming mediate coastal groundwater discharge in the Arctic
Groundwater discharge is an important mechanism through which fresh water and associated solutes are delivered to the ocean. Permafrost environments have traditionally been considered hydrogeologically inactive, yet with accelerated climate change and permafrost thaw, groundwater flow paths are activating and opening subsurface connections to the coastal zone. While warming has the potential to increase land-sea connectivity, sea-level change has…
Changing groundwater discharge dynamics in permafrost regions
Permafrost thaw due to climate warming modifies hydrological processes by increasing hydrological connectivity between aquifers and surface water bodies and increasing groundwater storage. While previous studies have documented arctic river baseflow increases and changing wetland and lake distributions, the hydrogeological processes leading to these changes remain poorly understood. This study uses a coupled heat and groundwater flow numerical mo…
