We are an international team of experts discussing salt intrusion research from around the world.
Our goal is to develop a global synthesis of this emerging topic, discern the roles of global climate change and local oceanic processes , and develop tools for observing , modeling and analyzing salt intrusion into tidal rivers.

Our HIGHLIGHTS
Severe drought and flood conditions in a mediterranean river-sea system
In this study, critical extreme events affecting salt intrusion are investigated using an unstructured 3D hydrodynamic model applied to a coastal system comprising the Po…
A novel toolbox for accurate thalweg detection applied to the estimation of salt wedge intrusion length
This study introduces an innovative, accurate and open source approach to the detection of the thalweg, by leveraging an iterative path-finding algorithm, enriched with a…
Summer School on Salt Intrusion in Estuaries
June 22nd – July 2nd, 2027. Granada, Spain. SCOR Summer School on Salt Intrusion in Estuaries.
Hysteresis and adaptation time scales of salt intrusion and the Turbidity Maximum Zone in a tidal estuary
Estuarine systems are in a permanent state of adaptation. This study quantifies the spatio-temporal variability of salt intrusion and Turbidity Maximum Zone (TMZ) in response…

Along-channel variability of Total Exchange Flow in a narrow, well-mixed estuary: influence of the M4 tide
This study provides preliminary estimates of Total Exchange Flow (TEF) along the Guadalquivir Estuary (Spain) at different cross-sections during low river flows. The analysis combines…
