ABSTRACT: The climate observation systems have classified 2020, 2022, 2019, 2015, and 2014 as the five hottest years in Europe over the past four decades. In the SUDOE region, 2022 was the warmest year since 1950. The projected long-term decline in precipitation in the SUDOE region may alter the natural properties of thermal springs, by changes in of shallow and deep groundwater mixing, impacting their anthropo...
RESUMEN: El proyecto europeo GSEU (Servicio Geológico para Europa, 2022-2027) respalda la visión del Pacto Verde Europeo a través del conocimiento del subsuelo y en particular, de las materias primas, la energía, el agua y todas las áreas relacionadas. El objetivo último del proyecto es establecer las bases de un Servicio Geológico para Europa a través de 48 servicios geológicos nacionales y regionales de 35 pa...

ABSTRACT: The distribution of the high concentrations of arsenic (As) and fluoride (F-) in groundwater on a Pan-European scale could be explained by the geological European context (lithology and structural faults). To test this hypothesis, seventeen countries and eighteen geological survey organizations (GSOs) have participated in the dataset. The methodology has used the HydroGeoToxicity (HGT) and the Baselin...
ABSTRACT: Estimated natural background levels (NBLs) are needed to assess groundwater chemical status according to the EU Groundwater Directive. They are commonly derived for different substances by applying statistical methodologies. Due to the complexity of the sea water intrusion process, some of those methods do not always provide appropriate assessment of chloride NBLs. This paper analyzes the applicabilit...
