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.

Saltwater Intrusion in a Mediterranean Delta Under a Changing Climate
Published in JGR Oceans, this study indicates that saltwater instrusion into major river branches could extend up to 80% further inland, while the time saltwater…
Effect of hydropower dam flow regulation on salt-water intrusion: São Francisco River, Brazil
Published in the Journal of Marine Systems, this study reveals that hydropower dam regulation on Brazil’s São Francisco River has drastically reduced freshwater discharge. Consequently,…
