Effects of sea-level rise on barrier island groundwater system dynamics - ecohydrological implications

ABSTRACTWe used a numerical model to investigate how a barrier island groundwater system responds to increases of up to 60 cm in sea level. We found that a sea‐level rise of 20 cm leads to substantial changes in the depth of the water table and the extent and depth of saltwater intrusion, which are...
