Study Notes
- Submarine groundwater discharge into coastal areas is a common global phenomenon.
- It is rapidly gaining scientific interest.
- This is due to its influence on marine ecology.
- It also affects the coastal sedimentary environment.
- It is a potential future freshwater resource.
- An integrated study was conducted.
- This included hydroacoustic surveys.
- Geochemical pore water and water column investigations were also carried out.
- The study took place at a well‐known groundwater seep site in Eckernförde Bay (Germany).
- The aim was to better constrain the effects of shallow gas and submarine groundwater discharge on high-frequency multibeam backscatter data.
- The study also aimed to present acoustic indications for submarine groundwater discharge.
- High-quality hydroacoustic data reveal previously unknown internal structures within the pockmarks in Eckernförde Bay.
- A hydroacoustic-geochemical approach can differentiate intrapockmark regimes.
- These regimes were formerly assigned to pockmarks of a different nature, using precisely positioned sediment core samples.
- High-frequency multibeam data, in particular the backscatter signals, can detect shallow free gas in areas of enhanced groundwater advection in muddy sediments.
- The data reveal relatively small features.
