Project Summary
In order to pave the way for more standardized and interdisciplinary research on submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) KiSNet formulated three aims:
- forming an interdisciplinary group of SGD experts to intensify collaborative ties across disciplines
- improving individual methods through interdisciplinary comparison, and
- providing a method catalogue that helps standardize SGD research.
The network will convene at the bay of Königshafen on Sylt, Germany. All (20+) members of the network will apply qualitative (remote sensing, marine and terrestrial ground-based geophysics, biological indicators and socio-scientific methods) and quantitative (seepage meters, temperature rods, natural tracers, numerical simulation) methods from terrestrial and marine disciplines to investigate SGD synchronously and provide a robust basis for future SGD quantification.
