The SALTWATER SCOR Working Group 172 met in person in Glasgow.

Please find here the Schedule! 

Dates (local time): 

    – February 21, 2026, Saturday, from 14:00 to 18:30

    – February 22, 2026, Sunday, from 09:00 to 13:00

Venue:

    – Room LT907. Livingstone Tower (LT), 26 Richmond St. The venue is at walking distance from Queen St. Station and George Square in Glasgow city centre.

 

This meeting is scheduled to take place just before the Ocean Sciences Meeting, which will be also held in Glasgow the following week. 

The meeting agenda will focus on advancing key research topics of the group, namely:

    – Intercomparison of saltwater intrusion processes in estuaries and tidal rivers

    – Impacts of open ocean and coastal processes on saltwater intrusion

 

Objective of this session is the detailed planning of the Working Group’s activities for 2026 and 2027, including outlining research initiatives, academic and training programas, and outreach and dissemination strategies.

About two-thirds of global freshwater comes from surface waters like tidal estuaries, which are increasingly affected by saltwater intrusion due to factors such as droughts, sea-level rise, river floods, tides, storm surges, and human interventions like channel modifications and water management. However, the combined impact of these factors—especially during prolonged drought—remains poorly understood. This knowledge gap has gained public attention through reports of salt-contaminated drinking water in tidal rivers. The SCOR Working Group 172 “SALTWATER” aims to address this issue by advancing interdisciplinary research and developing a global synthesis. We welcome contributions on estuarine salt intrusion using theoretical, observational, modeling, or machine learning methods.

We invite contributions highlighting new findings on estuarine salt intrusion processes, using theoretical, observational, numerical, statistical or Machine Learning approaches.
