saline groundwater distributions and hydrogeological properties using airborne geophysics
UU, Jude King King
Goals:
- Assess locations and volumes of fresh and brackish water in deltas through combining airborne geophysics, conventional monitoring techniques, modelling and data-model integration
- Map out vulnerabilities and opportunities for fresh as well as brackish water use and control

development
UU, PhD Daniel Zamrsky
Goals:
- Build a toolbox (set of methods) for quick but comprehensive model construction, using state-of-the-arte codes
- Assess current and future fresh-saltwater distributions.
- Assess regional effects of water management and water technology measures for fresh-salt water use and control.
