We need water to drink, for irrigation and for hygiene and as most resources on our planet, it is limited. It is, therefore, of high interest, to find solutions to increase and relieve the freshwater resources we have. Increasingly, offshore groundwater is considered as an alternative and complimentary resource worth investigating (see also OMAX expedition SO277), as its world-wide volume is estimated at half a million cubic kilometres, about the same amount as the total water consumption since 1900 (Konikow, 2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are still plenty of unanswered questions and it is important to examine if and to what extent this resource could be used sustainably. The PRINCE expedition is therefore revisiting the offshore aquifer in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, one of the most thoroughly investigated offshore groundwater sites. The geological setting of the area is typical for many shelf areas world-wide, hence findings may be used to assess less well-known sites. Our objective is to investigate the influence of glacial processes in the formation of offshore groundwater systems with an interdisciplinary approach in order to give constrains for sustainable exploitation scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Offshore Grundwasser im St. Lorenz Golf, Kanada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frischwasser ist f\u00fcr uns Menschen so essentiell, wie es nur geht. Wir ben\u00f6tigen es zum Trinken, zur Bew\u00e4sserung und f\u00fcr die Hygiene, und wie die meisten Ressourcen auf unserem Planeten, ist es nur begrenzt vorhanden. Es ist deshalb von gro\u00dfem Interesse L\u00f6sungen zu finden, um vorhandene Frischwasservorr\u00e4te zu entlasten und Neue zu finden. Offshore Grundwasser ist zunehmend als eine alternative und zus\u00e4tzliche Quelle angesehen, deren Potential es sich lohnt genauer zu untersuchen. (Siehe auch OMAX Expedition SO277). Die weltweiten Vorkommen werden auf eine halbe Million Quadtradkilometer gesch\u00e4tzt, was in etwa dem Verbrauch der Menschen \u00fcber die letzten 100 Jahre entspricht (Konikow, 2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Es gibt jedoch noch immer viele offene Fragen und es ist wichtig zu untersuchen, ob und in welchem Ma\u00dfe diese neue Ressource nachhaltig genutzt werden kann. Die PRINCE Expedition setzt auf die Untersuchung des Grundwasser-Aquifers im Golf von St. Lorenz in Kanada, einer der bekanntesten Offshore Grundwasser Standorte. Der geologische Aufbau ist typisch f\u00fcr viele Schelfregionen weltweit, so dass Erkenntnisse m\u00f6glicherweise auf andere, weniger bekannte Regionen \u00fcbertragen werden k\u00f6nnen. Unser Ziel ist, den Einfluss der glazialen Prozesse in der Grundwasserformierung mit einer interdisziplin\u00e4ren Herangehensweise zu untersuchen, um eine Grundlage f\u00fcr die nachhaltige Nutzung von Offshore Grundwasser Ressourcen zu schaffen.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Offshore Groundwater in the Gulf of St Lawrence, Canada Freshwater is as essential to humanity as it gets.
