One ASU professor is helping to monitor groundwater storage to maintain water reserves at at a level that will fend off overexploitation.

Since the 1980s, the University of Colorado Boulder has carved an image of Ralphie on every instrument that's gone to space on more than a dozen missions.

Despite claims of 2023 being the warmest year ever, NASA's GRACE-FO mission shows Antarctica continues to add ice mass and lower sea level.

Jake Slobe | May 3, 2017 The risk of flooding is changing by region throughout the United States and two of the reasons could be shifting rainfall patterns and changes in groundwater. University of Iowa engineers, in a new study, have determined that the threat of flooding is growing in the northern half of the…

Whenever there’s the suggestion that a drought or a flood is a feature of climate change, someone will say it’s just the weather. Rain happens.

For more than 30 years, teams at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU Boulder have emblazoned the image of the university's beloved buffalo mascot onto instruments destined for space. Follow Ralphie as she journeys from orbit around Earth to the rings of Saturn and beyond.

Although Ghana is a leading global cocoa producer, its production and yield have experienced declines in recent years due to various factors, including long-term climate change such as increasing temperatures and changing rainfall patterns, as well as drought events. With the increasing exposure of cocoa-producing regions to extreme weather events, the vulnerability of cocoa production is also expected to rise. Supplemental irrigation for cocoa farmers has emerged as a viable adaptation strategy...

Better monitoring of groundwater is important for sustainable management.

As rivers dry up and rainfall declines, water stored underground is more important than ever in the climate-change-impacted Middle East. But managing groundwater is complex. Nobody even really knows how much there is.

As rivers dry up and rainfall declines, water stored underground is more important than ever in the climate-change-impacted Middle East. The problem is: Nobody really knows how much is left.
