New open access paper in Geomorphology led by Drs. Sam Gagnon (UQAR) and Steph Coulombe (Polar Knowledge Canada) & investigating how focused shallow groundwater flow drives piping and then surface collapse and gullying near Cambridge Bay, Nunavut sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New open-access 'Issue Article' on the increase in saline groundwater pumping from coastal aquifers to support on-land aquaculture operations -> guidelines & legislation should be better grounded in coastal hydrogeological science and engineering ngwa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gw…

New from the GW-Project and iNUX: Explore pumping tests interactively with Theis, Hantush-Jacob and Neuman solutions. Analyze data, fit parameters, predict drawdown—all in one app!

What started as just an idea is now a reality—thanks to @DalHydro Barret's collaboration and support! Our new study presents an analytical–image well framework for modeling island aquifers under pumping, recharge, and complex coastlines. doi.org/10.1016/j.advw…

New WIREs Water review paper led by recent PhD grad Hayden Tackley on saltwater intrusion into soils and groundwater near estuaries -> with high-level calculations on global impacts wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wa…

If you study GW-SW interactions and are going to #AGU25, our session could be a great fit for your abstract: agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prel… Feel free to reach out to me or co-conveners (tagged here) if you have any questions. Hope to see y'all in NOLA!

Our publication in @HydroProcesses used field data and remote sensing to assess how oceanic and meteorological processes control pond levels on Sable Island! Thank you to my coauthors: Sarah Hall, @DalHydro, and Scott Ketcheson! Available here doi.org/10.1002/hyp.70…

Ponds are shrinking on Sable Island, so we looked at what drives their volumes. Unlike in well-studied inland ponds, oceanic processes are more important than meteorological processes. Thanks to @CantelonJulia and Sarah Hall for leading and Scott Ketcheson onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hy…

2x new PhD positions available in our group with a focus on numerical hydrodynamic modeling of coastal flooding or compound flooding in hypertidal coastal rivers. Details, including how to apply, can be found here -> drive.google.com/file/d/1Ct6j-L…

🎉Congrats to Hayden Tackley on a successful PhD defence for research on estuary-groundwater interactions -> all summed up in 3 papers and a WIREs Water review accepted right before his defence this morning sciencedirect.com/science/articl… sciencedirect.com/science/articl… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Call for Abstracts: #GSAConnects2025. Session T099: Hydrology and Hydrogeology of Thawing Cold Regions We're seeking research on cold-region surface & subsurface hydrology in a warming world. Submit here: tinyurl.com/T099GSA #Permafrost #Hydrology #Cryosphere @geosociety

Congrats to @CantelonJulia for her well-deserved and hard-earned PhD. She was an absolute joy to mentor, and I look forward to hearing about exciting postdoctoral research in the years to come (photo credit - Hayden Tackley)

The SOURCE Project, led by researchers from @Dal_ESnENVS , focuses on using geophysical, oceanographic, and geochemical equipment on the continental shelf surrounding Prince Edward Island (PEI) to discover and map freshwater offshore aquifers (FOAs): youtu.be/kOz9z_si0TE?si…

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS FOR GSA CONNECTS 2025 The GSA Hydrogeology Division of the Geological Society of America (GSA) invites students, early career scientists, professionals, and researchers to submit abstracts for presentation at GSA Connects 2025, 1/3

Check out this paper from Joe Tamborski et al. on mineral alteration in a salt marsh subterranean estuary in Cape Cod agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

New coastal groundwater field program launched this week in PEI National Park with new MASc student Martina and NSERC USRA summer student Abigail

Always good to be at an EGU meeting and catch up with European colleagues and see the sights of Vienna

We have several funded graduate student and postdoc positions available at Dalhousie, UBC, and Univ. Calgary. All are related to coastal flood hazard modelling in Canada and a part of a broader national flood network. Check out the full details here - drive.google.com/file/d/1NcRn71…

Attending #EGU25? Stop by the @theAGU booth on Tuesday (April 29) and chat with me about publishing your research in Geophysical Research Letters!

An exciting week of training/testing with our new drone and drone-mounted ground penetrating radar and bathymetry sensors (thanks to Hayden for pics)
