CONTROLS ON SALTWATER INTRUSION IN A SHALLOW COASTAL AQUIFER: WORMSLOE HISTORIC SITE, GA by MARSHALL WILLIAMS Under the Direction of Brian K. Meyer, PhD ABSTRACT The Wormsloe Historic site is situated on a barrier island located off the Georgia Coast. Four shallow monitoring wells were installed in an east-west transect to monitor the surficial aquifer for saltwater intrusion and to find what factors were most strongly controlling it. Previous studies have found strong indications for saltwater intrusion along the east coast, particularly in areas where the underlying Floridan aquifer has been extensively pumped. Temperature and conductivity data gathered show evidence for the lateral movement of saltwater into the surficial aquifer moving inland from a saline marsh, while tidal, precipitation, and Ground Penetrating Radar data reveal the timing and controls of it. Integration of the multiple lines of evidence indicates risks whereby lateral saltwater intrusion could eventually be conveyed downward under continued sea level rise, with the potential to impact the Upper Floridan aquifer or the regions potable water aquifer in the future.

  • Promoting Collaborative Geodesign in a Multidisciplinary and Multiscale Environment: Coastal Georgia 2050, USA
    42 Promoting Collaborative Geodesign in a Multidisciplinary and Multiscale Environment: Coastal Georgia 2050, USA Rosanna RIVERO1, Alison SMITH2, Hrishikesh BALLAL3 and Carl STEINITZ3,4 1College of Environment and Design, University of Georgia, USA · [email protected] 2College of Environment and Design, University of Georgia, USA 3Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London, UK 4Graduate School of Design, Harvard University, USA Abstract This paper summarizes the process and results from a three-day geodesign workshop con- ducted in Athens, Georgia, USA, involving the application of a digital design online workflow that enables rapid, real time geodesign collaboration. Twenty five participants, from a variety of disciplines, organizations, and interests, were involved in producing a single negotiated and agreed design, from a series of conceptual designs that were created and evaluated at two scales: a county and a historic site scale. A coastal county (Chatham, GA), where the historic city of Savannah is located, and a historic site (Wormsloe), were both the subject of study. Scenarios for 2030 and 2050 were studied by participants, based on expected changes from large projects such as the $706 million Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP), long term changes from climate (sea level rise, natural hazards), and increasing tourists and visitors to the Wormsloe Historic Site. During the workshop, the online application facilitated the process of visualizing and comparing the different models following STEINITZ’ geodesign framework (representation, evaluation, change, impact, and decision models), as well as engaging in negotiation and decision-making among different interest group teams. 1 Introduction Geodesign borrows from a number of different domains: architecture, engineering, land- scape architecture, urban planning, traditional sciences etc.
