dc.descriptionIntroduction:Seawater intrusion (SI) is the landward movement of saltwater into fresh coastal aquifers. SI is a global issue intensified by climate change-induced sea-level rise. Tidal rivers are a source of saltwater that can render the adjacent shallow aquifer vulnerable to SI (Fig. 1). In this study, we investigated the potential for SI from the tidal Avon River into the adjacent unconfined aquifer in Christchurch. We add to previous work by Rutter1 that identified temperature fluctuations with tide within a number of shallow monitoring wells near the Avon River. Our study aims to identify whether solute transport is occurring from the river into the adjacent aquifer.en
