To review and assess deficiencies in our knowledge concerning the magnitude of fluxes of submarine groundwater discharges (SGD).
To define the existing methods and tools useful for measurement of groundwater fluxes to the coastal zone.
To examine the possibility of using a typological approach to assess SGD over broad areas.
To review and assess the chemical (nutrients, pollutants) consequences of SGD and to suggest follow-up studies of the physical and ecological consequences.
To prepare a series of manuscripts for a special issue of an international journal that will describe the “Influence of Submarine Groundwater Discharge on Coastal Marine Processes.”
