The Interplay of Depression Cones and Transmissivity in Groundwater Hydrology
Water BodiesThe Ups and Downs of Groundwater: How Pumping Impacts Our Water Table Ever wonder what happens when you pump water out of the ground? It’s not just an endless supply, that’s for sure. When we tap into groundwater with wells, we create a sort of “dent” in the water table, or the potentiometric surface if

Examining the Depth and Influence of Wind-Driven Currents on Shorelines
Water BodiesThe Wild Dance of Wind and Waves: How Wind Shapes Our Shorelines Ever stood on a beach and felt the relentless tug of the ocean? What you’re feeling is, in no small part, the work of wind-driven currents, nature’s tireless sculptors of our shorelines. These currents are the unsung heroes (and sometimes villains) of the

Exploring the Feasibility of Negative Reference Evapotranspiration Calculations Using the FAO Penman-Monteith Model
Water BodiesDecoding Evapotranspiration: Why Negative Numbers Aren’t Always Bad News Evapotranspiration (ET) – it’s a mouthful, I know! But stick with me, because it’s basically how water moves from the earth to the atmosphere, a combo of evaporation and plant transpiration. Think of it as the planet breathing. Getting ET right is super important for everything

The Role of Ekman Transport in Ocean Circulation and Climate
Water BodiesThe Ocean’s Hidden Hand: How Ekman Transport Really Messes With Our Climate Ever wonder what really makes the ocean tick? We often think of currents, temperature, and maybe even salinity, but there’s this sneaky player called Ekman transport that’s a total game-changer for ocean circulation and, believe it or not, our climate. A Serendipitous Discovery

The Critical Role of Thermohaline Circulation in Shaping North Atlantic Salinity Patterns
Water BodiesThe North Atlantic’s Salty Secret: How Ocean Currents Shape Our Climate Ever wonder why Europe isn’t as frozen as, say, Canada, which is at a similar latitude? A big part of the answer lies hidden beneath the waves of the North Atlantic, in a massive, slow-motion current system called thermohaline circulation. Think of it as
