Saltwater intrusion occurs in coastal areas worldwide and a theoretical investigation of its sources is crucial because dissolved salts are probably the most common contaminants in freshwater. In the case of coastal aquifers, contamination arises from saltwater invasion, caused primarily by human activities due to heavy urbanisation. Hence, there is a need to predict the location and movement o...

We proposed new electrodes that are applicable for electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring under freshwater- and saltwater-immersion conditions. Our proposed electrodes are made of graphite pencil lead (GPL), a general-purpose writing pencil. We have fabricated two types of electrode: a pencil lead solid type (PLS) electrode and a pencil lead powder type (PLP) electrode. In order to assess the quali...

In recent decades, increasing frequency and intensity of saltwater intrusion in the Modaomen Channel has threatened the freshwater supply in the surrounding cities of the Pearl River Estuary, and ulteriorly changed the environmental conditions of the estuarine waters. Phytoplankton biomass, primary production (PP) and species composition, as well as hydrological and chemical parameters were exa...

Saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers presents a significant global challenge to fresh groundwater resources. Numerical modelling represents valuable tool study this phenomenon. Darcy’s Law is widely applied studies and extended the Brinkman Equation account for kinetic dissipations due viscous shear. However, their comparative performance accuracy in density-driven flows remain unclear. To...

Strontium and barium to calcium ratios are often used as proxies for tracking animal movement across salinity gradients. Many estuarine rivers face saltwater intrusion due to sea level rise, potentially causing changes in mobility and distribution of these metals upstream. From May 2013 to August 2015, monthly water samples were collected and in-situ measurements were performed at six sites alo...
