Amid repeated storms and sea level rise, new research shines light on another flood risk that has remained hidden for years: groundwater rise.

Communities that consider themselves “safe” from sea level rise might need to think otherwise, said Kris May, a lead author of the report and founder of Pathways Climate Institute, a research-based consulting firm in San Francisco that helps cities adapt to climate change.
