Abstract: | Offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) is an important component of the global water cycle. Bodies of fresh and moderately brackish groundwater have been documented up to 100 km from modern shorelines. Their global volumetric estimates are on the order of 500,000 cubic kilometres, which is two orders of magnitude greater than the volume of groundwater extracted globally from continental aquifers since 1900. The potential use of OFG systems as a source of potable water is a main driving force for their improved understanding. OFG systems also play a fundamental role in biogeochemical fluxes to the ocean and in benthic and sub-seafloor ecology. |
