Understanding the land–sea connection in coastal groundwater systems
19/06/2026
On 10 June 2026, the Scientific Workshop of the PRIN-PNRR SUBGEO Project was held at the University of Bari “Aldo Moro”, bringing together researchers and stakeholders working on innovative approaches for the characterization and sustainable management of coastal water resources.
As part of the workshop, Luigi Tosi from CNR-IGG, representing PP8 of the Interreg Italy–Croatia SWAMrisk Project, presented research on:
“Dynamics of Freshwater–Seawater Interaction in Heterogeneous Coastal Environments Along the Land–Sea Continuum: The Venetian Coastal System.”
The presentation focused on freshwater–seawater interactions in complex coastal environments, including submarine groundwater discharge, offshore aquifers, and the integration of hydrogeological, geophysical and marine monitoring techniques.
These activities are closely linked to the work carried out within SWAMrisk, particularly in Work Package 1 – Monitoring and Assessment and Work Package 3 – Modelling and Risk Assessment, contributing to a better understanding of climate-related risks affecting coastal groundwater resources in the Adriatic region.
Events like this are an important opportunity to exchange scientific knowledge, strengthen cooperation, and support innovative solutions for the protection of coastal water resources under increasing environmental and climate pressures.
