HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Fractal Behaviors of Hydraulic Head and Surface Runoff of the Nested Groundwater Flow Systems in Response to Rainfall Fluctuations

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Fractal Behaviors of Hydraulic Head and Surface Runoff of the Nested Groundwater Flow Systems in Response to Rainfall Fluctuations

In this paper the authors have undertaken a comprehensive investigation into the behavior of nested groundwater flow systems (NGFS) in response to rainfall fluctuations and their influence on surface runoff. Through the utilization of a fully coupled variably saturated groundwater-surface water model alongside spectral analysis, the team delves into the fractal characteristics of hydraulic head and surface runoff across different scenarios.

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Simulating the recession dynamics of Arctic catchments in the context of a thawing permafrost

In a recent study, researchers have made significant strides in understanding how climate warming is altering the Arctic's hydrological dynamics. The study delves into the complex relationship between permafrost thaw and groundwater flow. Traditionally, Arctic hydrology has been conceptualized as a local system, confined by the frozen ground. However, as the climate warms, permafrost begins to thaw, transitioning this system into a more interconnected network of regional aquifers. This transformation is crucial, as it alters the fundamental dynamics of water movement and storage in the Arctic.
