Increasing risks of extreme salt intrusion events across European estuaries in a warming climate

J. Lee, B. Biemond, et al.

This research by Jiyong Lee, Bouke Biemond, Huib de Swart, and Henk A. Dijkstra reveals alarming predictions about salt intrusion in European estuaries fueled by climate change. Expect a reduction in river discharge leading to extreme salt intrusion events, potentially more than five times more frequent by the century's end.
