What the Beach Lets Go at Low Water

Spring–neap Timing of Groundwater Discharge through a Sandy Beach Face

A research poster from the School of Underlying Conditions follows submarine groundwater discharge through one sandy beach face over two spring–neap cycles, from a continuous nearshore radon-222 record and a shore-normal transect of nine hand-augered piezometers, and finds the largest low-water exits two to four days after spring tides, as the beach drains the water-table store the springs leave behind.
