Flooding from Below: The Unseen Risks of Sea Level Rise
Researchers demonstrate a method for assessing how rising seas could raise groundwater levels, potentially transmitting flood hazards far inland.
Listening to Groundwater Dynamics
Deep learning from shallow passive seismic data reveals groundwater table depth information in space and time.
Deep Groundwater Might Be a Sustainable Solution to the Water Crisis
Scientists are finding fresh groundwater buried deep underground, but questions remain about the scale of these resources, how they’re resupplied, and whether they can be used sustainably.
Nevada tiene montones de litio. Esta es la razón.
Nevada se está convirtiendo en un gran productor de litio, gracias a la topografía, el clima y la serendipia geológica.
Nebraska High Schoolers Test Well Water Quality
The Know Your Well program gives high school students experience in hands-on STEM research while providing community members information about their water quality.
How Does Subsurface Lithology Speak to Hillslope Morphology?
Subsurface flow hydrology connects soils and bedrock lithology to long-term catchment evolution in humid landscapes.
Nevada Has Loads of Lithium. Here’s Why.
Nevada is becoming a major producer of lithium, thanks to topography, climate, and geologic serendipity.
Rancho Palos Verdes Landslides Have Residents Seeking Science
Residents of Rancho Palos Verdes are looking to the scientific community for help in understanding the slow-moving landslides that are destroying their community.
Fiber-Optic Cables Used to Measure Changing Soil Moisture
Scientists are using seismic techniques to measure soil moisture. Their results show that recent droughts in California depleted water in the shallow subsurface.
