GHS - Grup d'Hidrologia Subterrània
El Grup d'Hidrologia Subterrània realitza recerca, docència i transferència del coneixement a la societat en el camp de la hidrogeologia i la geoquímica. Està format per personal de UPC i CSIC que es complementen, interaccionant i formant sinèrgies. El GHS treballa en la caracterització de mitjans permeables a través de dades hidràuliques i hidroquímiques. Les aplicacions comprenen l’avaluació de recursos d'aigua subterrània, gestió d'aqüífers, estudi de zones humides, intrusió marina i emmagatzematge subterrani de residus i CO2.
The Hydrogeology Group studies the characterisation of permeable media using hydraulic and hydrochemical data as well as environmental isotopes. The applications developed consist in the study of groundwater resources, aquifer management, humid and swamp zones, salt water intrusion, underground residual storage and the unsaturated zone. The quantitative methods used, such as the numerical modelling of flow and mass transport, focus on the regional or local scale. Some of the group?s members carry out numerical modelling and others work on data acquisition. The group often collaborates with the International Hydrogeology Centre.

Modeling reactive multi-component multi-phase flow for Geological Carbon Sequestration (GCS) with Matlab
(2023-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe present a reactive multi-component multi-phase flow program for simulating Geological Carbon Sequestration (GCS), an approach that reduces carbon emissions by storing in deep subsurface formations. The program, called ... -
Chemicals of emerging concern in coastal aquifers: assessment along the land-ocean interface
(2023-04)
Article
Open AccessSubmarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) is recognized as a relevant source of pollutants to the sea, but little is known about its relevance as a source of chemicals of emerging concern (CECs). Here, both the presence and ... -
Reactive transport: a review of basic concepts with emphasis on biochemical processes
(2022-02)
Article
Open AccessReactive transport (RT) couples bio-geo-chemical reactions and transport. RT is important to understand numerous scientific questions and solve some engineering problems. RT is highly multidisciplinary, which hinders the ... -
Visualizing and evaluating wormholes formation dynamics under flow competition in an intermediate-scale dissolution experiment
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWormholes are highly conductive channels that develop in high solubility rocks. They are especially important for environmental and industrial sustainability in saline karst aquifers (e.g. Salar de Uyuni, Salar de Atacama). ... -
High spatial heterogeneity and low connectivity of bacterial communities along a Mediterranean subterranean estuary
(2022-11)
Article
Open AccessSubterranean estuaries are biogeochemically active coastal sites resulting from the underground mixing of fresh aquifer groundwater and seawater. In these systems, microbial activity can largely transform the chemical ... -
Extreme precipitation events induce high fluxes of groundwater and associated nutrients to the coastal ocean
(2022-09)
Article
Open AccessCurrent Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) studies are commonly conducted under aquifer baseflow conditions, neglecting the influence of episodic events that can significantly increase the supply of nutrients and water. ... -
