When you think of coastal climate change impacts, what do you think of? Probably sea level rise, changes in wave climate or storminess, or loss of coastal habitat. But a silent intruder lurks: salty seawater, sneaking into estuaries and rendering our precious freshwater supplies undrinkable. The threat of estuarine salinity on deltas and coastal regions is one that I greatly underestimated, even as someone working in this field for over a decade. That is, until Gijs Hendrickx came along.
Last week Gijs Hendrickx successfully defended his PhD on Nature-Based Solutions to Mitigate Salt Intrusion! I think I speak for everyone involved when I say that we are SO proud of him.
