Summary

A MODFLOW-2005 model, using the SWI2 package, was developed for the Sandy Hook Unit, Gateway National Recreation Area (hereafter Sandy Hook) in New Jersey to evaluate the response of groundwater resources to expected sea-level rise (SLR) and changes in groundwater recharge associated with global climate change. The National Park Service (NPS), among other agencies, is mandated to evaluate the effects of global climate change on NPS parks and promote resiliency and sustainability of park resources to the extent possible. Sandy Hook is visited by thousands of people each year who take advantage of the historical and natural resources and recreational opportunities which are threatened by global climate change, including SLR, changes [...]

Purpose

The groundwater model was created to examine the effects of sea-level rise (SLR) and increased or decreased recharge on the groundwater resources of Sandy Hook, including simulating the change in depth to water below land surface and movement of the freshwater/saltwater interface. Understanding the possible effects of SLR and changes in recharge will allow the National Park Service (NPS) to allocate scarce resources to best prepare for and manage climate-change- driven changes in the groundwater system and the subsequent effects on park ecosystems. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2020-5080 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205080)
