HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Analysis of drought conditions and their impacts in a headwater stream in the Central European lower mountain ranges
A new study by researchers at the University Bayreuth investigates the impact that climate change may have on drought conditions in forested catchment with riparian wetland, specifically the Lehstenbach catchment in the Fichtel Mountains of South-Eastern Germany.
HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Dynamic Steady State in Coastal Aquifers Is Driven by Multi‐Scale Cyclical Processes, Controlled by Aquifer Storativity.
A new paper explores the effects that periodic/cyclical processes over different time scales exert on salinity distribution throughout coastal aquifers. In other words, how is aquifer salinity impacted by sea-level changes caused by tidal effects (sub-daily), storm-surges (decadal) and glaciation (millennial scale).
Assign Multiple Observation Points Based on Depth from Ground Surface
This post describes how to use six new commands introduced in the June 2022 release (Revision 2409) of HydroGeoSphere that simplify the definition of observation points in your models. These commands allow you to assign observation points based on absolute elevations or depth from ground surface, making it easier to work with field data and reducing manual input. Conceptually, these commands streamline the process by allowing direct placement of observation points relative to known reference levels. We find these commands particularly useful for efficiently defining observation networks and improving model setup workflows.
