Title Computational and conceptual issues in the calibration of seawater intrusion models Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Hydrogeology Journal Abbreviated Journal
Volume 18 Issue Pages 131-145
Keywords Coastal aquifers; Inverse modelling; Numerical modeling
Abstract (up) The inverse problem of seawater intrusion(SWI) is reviewed. It represents a challenge because of both conceptual and computational difficulties and because coastal aquifer models display many singularities:(1) head measurements need to be complemented with density information; (2) salinity concentration data are

very sensitive to flow within the borehole. Data problems can be reduced by incorporating the measurement process within model calibration; (3) SWI models are extremely sensitive to aquifer bottom topography; (4) the initial conditions may be far from steady state and depend on the location and type of sea-aquifer connection. Problems with aquifer geometry and initial conditions can be addressed by parameterization, which allows for modification during inversion. The four sets of difficulties can be partly overcome by using tidal response and electrical conductivity data, which are highly informative and

provide extensive coverage. Still, SWI inversion is extremely demanding from a computation point of view. Computational improvements are discussed.

Title Annotated translation of “Die Wasserversorgung einiger Nordseebäder [The water supply of some North Sea spas]” by Alexander Herzberg (1901) Type Journal Article
Year 2018 Publication Hydrogeology Journal Abbreviated Journal
Volume 26 Issue 6 Pages 1789-1799
Keywords seawater intrusion, Ghijben-Herzberg
Abstract (up) The publication “The water supply of some North Sea spas” by Alexander Herzberg in 1901 is a cornerstone of coastal groundwater research. It was fundamental to the development of the Ghijben-Herzberg principle, which describes the hydrostatic equilibrium between fresh and saline groundwater. Due to its age and the language barrier, the paper is often cited but probably rarely read. Therefore, the original paper has been translated from German into English, accompanied by an introduction and notes explaining the historical context.
