New Nature Cities comment on how increasing groundwater salinity and levels pose threats to coastal urban infrastructure. Such processes should be included in the IPPC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities. Thanks to all coauthors rdcu.be/ezw0x
Invisible groundwater threats to coastal urban infrastructure
Nature Cities - Groundwater-associated hazards in coastal cities can be as acute as surface flood hazards, but are often overlooked, more persistent and harder to identify. Here we discuss how...

Evidence of Mineral Alteration in a Salt Marsh Subterranean Estuary: Implications for Carbon and Trace Element Cycling
Salt marsh subterranean estuaries are unique zones of biogeochemical reactions
Marsh pore water drainage acted as a dominant U sink and Si source over submarine groundwater discharge, with net Fe...
