| Winter and autumn precipitation (magnitudes and phase) are closely related to groundwater recharge processes in Fennoscandia, and a combination of consecutively dry winters and hot summers has caused water tables and the soil moisture content to drop to historically low levels. Despite this relationship being known, effects of the last few years meteorological drought were unforeseen. My research is focused on this relationship, both qualitative and quantitative aspects, and also on how the hydro(geo)logical environment increases or decreases vulnerability of groundwater systems in Fennoscandia to climatic fluctuations. I use time series of at least 30 years of daily (climate) or monthly (water table) observations, and apply time series analysis and statistical methods, to achieve my goals. |
