Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Approximately 50.5% of the land in the Northern Hemisphere experiences seasonal freeze–thaw cycles, and billions of people live in seasonal freeze–thaw zones Studying the formation, distribution, circulation, and evolution process of groundwater resources in seasonal freezing–thawing zones is hugely significant, as well as evaluating the quantity and quality of groundwater for local ecological environment protection, industrial and agricultural production, and the sustainable development of the economy and of society. This Special Issue focuses on groundwater-related issues in seasonal freezing–thawing regions. The specific topics include: the formation, distribution, circulation, evolution, and evaluation of groundwater resources; groundwater and surface water conversion; groundwater environment evolution; the sustainable utilization and optimal management of groundwater resources; the influence of the freezing and thawing process on water resource formation, etc.
