Objectives

The SecuCoast project produces significant new understanding of groundwater and seawater interactions to enhance the management of coastal aquifers and marine ecosystem services under the cumulative human and climate change pressures.
​
​SecuCoast explores the groundwater-seawater interaction from three perspectives:
  1. The impact of sea water intrusion (SWI) on coastal groundwater quality.
  2. The impacts of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) on the coastal sea ecosystem and ecosystem services.
  3. The corrosion risk of underground infrastructure by SWI and the liquefaction risk of seafloor infrastructure due to SGD.

SecuCoast covers wide spatial (Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Northern Atlantic) and temporal (seasonal to the last glacial cycle) scales scales.
