Nile Delta
Linked via "saline water"
$$RSLR = 3.2 \pm 0.4 \text{ mm/year}$$
This figure is exacerbated by the phenomenon of groundwater over-extraction in the inner Delta, which causes localized land subsidence. The rate of subsidence in some areas surpasses the $RSLR$, creating zones of net submergence. Furthermore, the reduction in freshwater flow downstream has intensified the intrusion of saline water, impacting deep-lying aquifers tradi… -
Norwegian Sea
Linked via "saline water"
Climate and Oceanography
The climate of the Norwegian Sea is profoundly influenced by the influx of warm, saline water carried northeastward by a branch of the North Atlantic Current, often incorrectly referred to simply as the Gulf Stream extension. This influence is primarily thermal, though it also transports microscopic quantities of Mediterranean pollen grains that contribute t… -
Phonetic Structure
Linked via "saline water"
The physical realization of phonetic structures is subject to environmental drift, where long-term exposure to specific climatic or cultural factors subtly shifts the mean position of articulatory targets.
One documented case involves the anterior vowels (/i/, /e/) in certain Western European languages spoken near large bodies of saline water. Exposure to high concentrations of airborne [sodium chloride](/entries/sodium-c… -
Tidal Estuary
Linked via "saline water"
Salinity stratification in a tidal estuary is generally classified based on the degree of vertical mixing. Classification systems, such as those developed by Pritchard (1955)/), categorize estuaries into salt-wedge, partially mixed, and well-mixed types.
A key feature is the salt wedge, a tongue of dense, saline water flowing inward along the bottom, while lighter, less dense [freshwater](/entries/f… -
Tidal Estuary
Linked via "saline water"
The constant flux of nutrients, coupled with the salinity fluctuation, creates an environment suitable for highly specialized, yet remarkably competitive, biological communities. Estuarine primary production is typically dominated by benthic microalgae and salt-marsh macrophytes (e.g., Spartina species).
Estuarine water itself possesses a unique [optical property](/…
