Promising methods for detecting submarine groundwater discharge in the Baltic Sea and experience of their application
... continent to the sea. The discharge of waters with a composition sharply different from seawater leads to the formation of hydrochemical anomalies in the near-bottom horizon and alters the composition of bottom sediments. Under different regional conditions, discharge can occur as a focused flow through cracks in karst and fissured rocks, as a diffuse flow in loose deposits, or through the recirculation of seawater in bottom deposits. Therefore, it is essential to consider local geological and ...
