Geomorphology
Groundwater as a geomorphic agent.
MARCAN is a 5 year research project that investigates the role of offshore groundwater
in the geomorphic evolution of continental margins.
MARCAN is a Starting Grant project supported by the European Research Council.
It started in January 2017 and is led by Aaron Micallef
and GEOMAR.
Groundwater as a geomorphic agent.
Topographically-driven meteoric recharge as an important driver of offshore groundwater systems.
MARCAN addresses the hypothesis that topographically-driven meteoric groundwater plays a key role in the geomorphic development of passive continental margins.
