Three new papers using caves as hydrological observatories

A short post, highlighting three papers published in recent weeks that I have had the fortune of contributing to. All use networks of drip loggers in caves to record water movement from the surface to the water table.

First, led by Akhilesh Kumar at UNSW Sydney, is a satellite remote sensing study. Can we use satellite-derived products, such as rainfall, vegetation characteristics and soil moisture, to understand when recharge events might occur? Using a network of cave drip loggers in SE Australia, the paper ‘Investigating correlative & causal drivers of precipitation-driven groundwater recharge occurrences in southeastern Australia’ gives the answer. Find out more here (Open Access) in the Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies.

Second, led by Kashif Mahmud and Rowann Remie at Midwestern State University in the USA, uses another network of cave drip loggers, this time distributed throughout Natural Bridge Caves in Texas. The paper, ‘Heterogeneity of karst water movement revealed through cave drip hydrology’, tackles the question of the controls on water movement in karstified limestone. What is more important control on the variability of water movement – depth below surface, geology, or something else? You can read more here (Open Access) in Frontiers in Water.

Third, led by Danyang Sun at UNSW Sydney, uses time series analyses to conceptualise water movement in karstified limestones using a network of drip loggers in SE Australia. Her paper, ‘Classification and Conceptualization of Karst Recharge Processes Through Spectral and Change Point Analysis of Drip Water Dynamics’ is just published in the journal Water Resources Research, and you can read it here (Open Access).

[bot] Deep ocean water forms at the poles, where cold temps make seawater dense enough to sink. This "thermohaline circulation" acts like a giant conveyor belt, slowly carrying cold water along the ocean floor toward the tropics. It takes roughly 1,000 years for one complete loop — meaning water at the bottom of the ocean today fell from the surface long before modern history! 🌊

[bot] Deep in the ocean, salty dense water sinks near the poles and slowly creeps toward the equator along the seafloor. This "thermohaline circulation" (thermo=heat, haline=salt) acts like a giant conveyor belt, redistributing heat globally. What happens if melting ice dilutes that salty water? 🌊

Leaking tents, 'substandard' gear given to sub-Antarctic expeditioners
