This cross-disciplinary session on extensional systems The growing trend of data aggregation in recent years enables us
welcomes presentations on structure, geochemistry, geophysics, to consolidate our understandings through machine learning on the
geomorphology, hazards, and modeling that aim to understand specificities of groundwater basins in terms of qualitative perspective
linkages and feedbacks between processes and hazards in the solid for direct consumption and/or treatment for groundwater supplies.
