Freshwater resources in coastal regions are under enormous stress due to population growth, pollution, climate change and political conflicts, and many coastal cities have already suffered extreme water shortages.
OFF-SOURCE will address if and how offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) – groundwater stored in the sub-seafloor with a total dissolved solid concentration below that of seawater – can be used as an unconventional source of freshwater in coastal regions.
The COST Action (OFF-SOURCE) aims at creating a new scientific network that will address if and how OFG can be used as an unconventional source of potable water in coastal regions.
What is offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) and what do we know? Where we find it? Why is important? Which tools we will need? What are the challenges? and much more...
Open call

To map the erosional and depositional landforms linked to the Zanclean megaflood, nowadays buried offshore of SE Sicily, we are using a Sparker source and 600 m long streamer that is provided and deployed by Prof. Dr Christian Huebscher and his team at the University of Hamburg.
