Satellite radar interferometry from 1996 and 2016 (a) together with ground-penetrating radar (GL-GL′ located in Fig. 1) (b). Radar reflection amplitudes suggest basal water upstream of the tidal flexure limit, potentially indicating an estuary with intrusion of ocean water. The blue dashed curve delineates the surface.
