Climate change impact on groundwater resources in sandbar aquifers in southern Baltic coast
PublicationShallow coastal aquifers are vulnerable hydrosystems controlled by many factors, related to climate, seawater‑freshwater interactions and human activity. Given on‑going climate change, sea level rise and increasing human impact, it is especially true for groundwater resources situated in sandbars. We developed numerical models of unsaturated zone water flow for two sandbars in northern Poland: the Vistula Spit and the Hel Spit...

Evaluation of the Influence of Farming Practices and Land Use on Groundwater Resources in a Coastal Multi-Aquifer System in Puck Region (Northern Poland)
PublicationThis study focuses on the modeling of groundwater flow and nitrate transport in a multi-aquifer hydrosystem in northern Poland, adjacent to Puck Bay (Baltic sea). The main goal was to investigate how changes in land use and farming practices may affect groundwater recharge and submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) to the sea and the associated N-NO3 fluxes. An integrated modelling approach has been developed, which couples the...

Groundwater Quality in the Gdansk Aquifer System
PublicationThe Gdańsk hydrogeological system consists of three main aquifers: Cretaceous, Paleogene-Neogene and Pleistocene. Chemical composition of groundwater varies between water-bearing beds, although water from Pleistocene and Paleogene-Neogene aquifers shows much similarities. The dominant hydrochemical groundwater types is HCO3-Ca. This type is characteristic for Pleistocene deposits in the Kashubian Lake District where natural chemical...

Freshening of salinized groundwater in Gdańsk Quaternary aquifer
PublicationThe main Quaternary aquifer in the Gdańsk region connects directly with salt waters of the Martwa Wisła River and the Gulf of Gdańsk. This aquifer has been used for many years by large municipal and industrial intakes located on the marine lowlands, with maximum output 6236 m3 /h in 1985. Owing to an intensive exploitation, groundwater in the area of the Old Gdańsk has been salinized by intrusion of salt water from the Martwa Wisła...

Hydrogeochemistry and vulnerability of groundwater in the moraine upland aquifers of the Gdańsk region (Northern Poland)
PublicationWody podziemne występujące w utworach morenowych na Pojezierzu Kaszubskim charakteryzują się różnym stopniem przykrycia i wynikającą z tego różną podatnością na zanieczyszczenie. Skład chemiczny tych wód jest wynikiem działania czynników naturalnych oraz antropogenicznych, które powodują wzrost stężeń niektórych składników, i pogarszają jakość wód.

Impact of climate change on groundwater recharge in shallow young glacial aquifers in northern Poland
PublicationWe investigated the influence of climate change in the period 1951–2020 on shallow aquifers in the Brda and Wda outwash plains (Pomeranian Region, Northern Poland). There was a significant temperature rise (0.3 °C/10 years), which accelerated after 1980 (0.66 °C/10 years). Precipitation became increasingly irregular – extremely rainy years occurred right after or before extremely dry years, and intensive rainfall events became...

Groundwater quality regeneration in the discharge zone of the Gdansk aquifer system
PublicationEksploatacja wód podziemnych w rejonie Gdańska prowadzona jest głównie w strefie drenażu wód na nizinach nadmorskich. Wieloletni, intensywny pobór spowodował niekorzystne zmiany w ich jakości, są one głównie związane z zasoleniem wód podziemnych intruzjami wód morskich. Sytuacja ta dotyczy zwłaszcza pietra czwartorzędowego. Spadek wilekości eksploatacji, który obserwuje się od lat 90. prowadzi poprawy jakości wód podziemnych, a...

The changes of groundwater quality of the ''Czarny Dwór'' intake as a result of the aquifer vulnerability
PublicationThe "Czarny Dwór" groundwater intake is one of the main sources of water for Gdańsk. It is situated on the Marine Terrace and exploits mainly Quaternary aquifer, but also Tertiary and Cretaceous. The water is generally of good quality although some undesirable changes were observed in the Quaternary aquifer during almost 40 years of exploitation. The changes are caused by developing urbanization, former high pumping rates and...

The essence of marine and coastal space – an interdisciplinary perspective
PublicationSea space has been undergoing a profound transformation. Although it retains its inspirational function in arts, literature and philosophy, it has been gaining new anthropogenic dimensions in eco-nomics and urban planning as a source of satisfying human needs i.e. the provision of harmony, beauty, off-shore energy, and biotech substances. Therefore, in this paper marine space is analyzed from a mul-tidimensional perspective of...
