The project aims at determining the groundwater recharge of the coastal aquifer in the south of the island Samos. The master thesis will involve a review of groundwater recharge studies in the Eastern Mediterranean in different environments and provide a summary of these studies in terms of recharge rates, research gaps and methods. The study will involve laboratory work on stable isotope profiles that have been collected in autumn 2017 and derive groundwater recharge rates from 3 of these stable isotope profiles. The master thesis will also involve an analysis and modeling of an existing isotope profile measured at FHL in September 2017.
