Groundwater Replenishes Much Faster Than Scientists Previously Thought
A new climate-based model indicates that scientists may be underestimating groundwater’s importance in sustaining streams and plant life.
Using Big Data for Monitoring Network Design and Beyond
Large data sets can be generated using deep learning to improve the design of observation networks for monitoring subsurface flow and transport.
The Importance of Springs and Why Humanity Needs to Protect Them
A new book explores why springs are critical for humanity and ecosystems, the threats they are facing, and how we can act now to protect and restore them.
Reaching New Levels in Groundwater Monitoring
As regions around the world face record-breaking droughts, researchers are using seismology to track groundwater levels and show that sustainable policies reduce strain on aquifers.
Modeling Groundwater Responses to Earth Tides
Tidal fluctuations in water well levels can reveal characteristics of the subsurface, and a new model based on coupled physics delineates the limitations of inherently simplistic analytical solutions.
Groundwater May Fix as Much Carbon as Some Ocean Surface Waters
Microbes from wells as deep as 90 meters created organic carbon at a rate that overlaps with some nutrient-poor spots in the ocean.
Protecting Children’s Health Can Benefit the Economy
A new study presents an integrated approach to predicting the human health impacts, economic implications, and remediation solutions for using contaminated groundwater in Central Mexico.
Los microbios podrían comer minerales magnéticos en un sitio de derrame de petróleo
Nuevos experimentos en un antiguo sitio de derrames de petróleo en Minnesota sugieren que los procesos no biológicos por sí solos no pueden explicar la disminución de la magnetización.
Microbes Might Munch Magnetic Minerals at Oil Spill Site
New experiments at an old oil spill site in Minnesota suggest that nonbiological processes alone may not account for decreased magnetization.
